Q: How long do fence posts last in concrete?

• <div><p>A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post&rsquo;s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-fence-post.htm">replace your fence post</a> every five to 15 years.</p></div>

Q: How much does a stockade fence cost to install?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-privacy-fence-cost.htm">How much does a privacy fence cost</a>? Stockade fences cost $12 to $13 per linear foot for materials. You may find fencing that costs less, but it&rsquo;s likely wholesale wood manufactured using young trees. Fencing materials made with young trees are less durable than those made with mature trees.</p><p> </p><p>For installation, expect to pay $30 to $80 per hour. Installing a 150- to 200-linear-foot fence takes 20 to 35 hours, which comes to about $600 to $2,800 for labor.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Do you stain both sides of a fence?

• <div><p>You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor&rsquo;s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that&rsquo;s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can&rsquo;t see it from your side of the lawn.</p></div>

Q: Do fence posts need to be below the frost line?

• <div><p>Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.</p></div>

Q: How deep should a wooden gate post be?

• <div><p>Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.</p></div>

"Awesom, David showed up, had to deal with some issues with his supplier (not his issue) but never lost a good get it done attitude. I am by far not a handy person, he was able to break down what he was doing in a way that even I felt an understanding of it. I bough some other fencing products from him that I am going to DIY, he walked me threw it and took the time to explain how and what to expect. He is a good person that takes great pride in his work, and it truly does show. I, personally will recommend him to anyone and everyone and I will utilize his derive in the future as I have some other fencing stuff I need done."

Finished product opens nice and smooth. Has clickers for entert and free exit and safety loops for exiting.
