My house is in similar situation of the picture above (instead of the
green, my house is there).
Of course the fence is going to be build on my property side. I want
a protection fence like the one in the picture because I am afraid in
the Winter cars might slip and hit my house.
I started working and dig to install the Posts. There will be 6-8
post and the distance between them is 6' feet. My question, should I
install the first post (put the gravel first and then concorete) and
then wait to dry and then try to install pther post so I can use the
first one as a bench mark when I try to make sure they all post are
layed on the same level and the hight are the same. I thought it is
good idea to do that. What do you think
Thanks a lot.
I think you should drive a pair of pegs and stretch a string to establish
your line . Use a level to plumb your posts , set 'em a bit high and cut to
height after mounting the top stringer . Cut the tops at an angle to shed
water or they'll rot . And your concrete needs to be finished slightly above
ground and sloped away from the post for the same reason .
