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: Should fence posts be set in concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, fence posts should be set in concrete to provide the proper support for the fence. If you notice your fence posts leaning, you&rsquo;ll need to learn <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-brace-a-fence-post.htm">how to brace a fence post</a> to fix the problem and prevent further damage from occurring. By bracing a fence post properly, you&rsquo;ll provide stability and sturdiness to your fence for years to come.</p></div>

Q: What type of wood fence lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Fences made out of redwood, cedar, or pressure-treated pine are the most durable. These materials can last anywhere between 15 to 40 years so long as they are properly maintained. Make sure to clean your fence regularly and pressure wash once a year. After pressure washing, apply a sealant and/or fresh paint to keep it looking fresh.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a building permit to put up a vinyl fence?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">building permit</a> to put up a vinyl fence, especially if the fence is sitting on or close to your property line. You can ask your local building department or fence installation company if your fence project will require a permit. If so, you can expect it to cost between <b>$20 and $60</b>. Your fence installer should pull the permit for you. Building without a permit could eventually require you to pay again to remove the fence and reinstall it after getting the job approved.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove old fence posts from concrete?

• <div><p>Removing fence posts that are set in concrete is something you can't do by hand. You will need an excavator, a strong post-puller, or a jackhammer. If you plan on recycling the concrete base, you may be able to cut the post out with a jackhammer and then set the new post in the existing base. However, it's usually better to remove both the fence post and concrete together. Due to the weight of concrete, you will need a hydraulic removal tool. </p></div>
