I'm running a wood panel fence up to the corner of my house. Question: is
there any reason not to attach a fence post to the house itself? I've seen
people around here do it both ways - sink a post next to the house, and
just bolt the post to the house itself.


Potential termites, rot, resale value and wind damage to the house.

Dig the hole about a foot from the foundation and extend the stringer past
the post leaving at least a 1/2" gap between the fence and the house.
