The following formula will help you compute the number of fence posts you need.
Fence posts not in straight line.
What are my options to fix this.
Posts not in a straight line don t forget gravel or small stones at the bottom of the hole.
Considering this your corner posts should be longer and if possible larger than your line posts.
Corner posts should be buried deeper to the ground at least 2 3 of the entire length of the post compared to your line posts at least 2 feet.
For the extra couple bucks for the longer post and the extra couple bucks for the setter its well worth it 10 years down the line when the fence is still strong as ox and straight as arrow.
I d rather not dig out the thing because it s 2 5 feet in the ground in concrete.
Lack of light and a rush to finish the job before a thunder storm resulted in one fence post being slightly out of line about 1 1 5 inches.
Either way the very first step is to determine your property lines so you can stay inside them unless you live in a state that allows shared fences on the property line and your neighbor agrees to the project if you skip this step you might have to take.
