How do you install cedar fence posts?

You need a post hole digger and cement. YOu have to measure out the area that you are putting the post. YOu can space them apart every 6-8 feet. You dig the hole and have the cement prepared and when the hole is done you put the cement around the post. The cement should come with directions for mix. You should put the post down at least 10" for it to stay in the ground well. I don't think 10 inches will quite do it. A good rule of thumb is half the heaight of the fence but nothing less than 30 inches deep. The diameter of the hole should be at least 4 inches greater in diameter than the post but nothing smaller than 6 inches. Make sure your holes look more like a bell than an ice cream cone because frost in the winter time can actually lift the post out of the ground.

A cemented fence is extremely durable, offering higher levels of security and peace of mind. Installing a cemented fence post is simple, requiring only a few steps. Dig a 2-3 foot hole in the ground, with a 12 inch diameter. Place a fence post in the center of the hole. Add at least 6 inches of water into the hole. After adding water, add cement powder until the water becomes a thick slush. Adjust the cement and water mixture until it reaches the consistency of dough. Add gravel into the cement mixture to provide additional support. Allow at least 48 hours for a cement post hole to dry.
