Hello for everyone who is skeptical about the strength of the this type of fence its stronger than you think my personal fence at home is built similar and still standing strong after 7 years no issues. Would a pole with concrete feel stronger? Yes it would but that doesn't mean this type of fence wont work this fence is designed for people on a BUDGET. To build a fence with with poles concreted the traditional way you will spend at least 3 times as much money/time after labor and materials. I have built plenty of fences with and without concrete and they are all still standing any who doubts me is welcome to come see this exact fence in the video located in Casper WY which has brutal winters and high wind and see that it has absolutely no issues. That being said if you have no budget restrictions then a tradition fence with concrete might make more sense for you.

Ok I'm doing this, we had a hurricane last night in Houston and a section fell, the only difference is, I will be screwing thru fence pickets because, the face of fence is facing me, and do not want to deal with the narcissist next door, probably call cops claiming we are trying to brake in🙄, also if it get dry before I do job, I just dig a small hole and pour alot of water to soften ground a bit, to pound pole right thru, I have a chain link fence that is been there for over 20 years, dammit never thought of this, oh well learning something new, Thank you ‼️🤙
Another way. leave the old broken post in place. Go buy jack posts. Install into the ground and lag bolt to old 4×4. Jack posts are heavy gauge pipe.
Nice, I love your methods and showing step-by-step, thanks for your sharing!!!
Thanks, have worked through the years (20) my fence. I am happy that my intuition was spot on all the time with common sense too. This video shows some “tricks” that will come in handy in the future. 👍
Will the post not start leaning and eventually fall over without the use of concrete?
Excellent idea, and very workable when you can only do a little at a time. Thank You!
