I see that some people debate over whether fence posts should be
cemented into the ground or not. Some people say yes, you need cement
to keep the fence sturdy, other people say putting the posts 2 feet
down in soil or even crushed rock is perfectly fine.


Would it be okay to install 50 feet ( length ) of 4 to 5 foot high
chainlink fence, and NOT have the posts cemented in??


I'm not a fence type person but my next neighbor to the east has a 1200'
fence along our mutual property line; wood posts and barbed wire. Been
there for 17 years.

Barbed wire and chain link are too completely different situations.
