How Do You Install Steel Fence Posts?
Steel fence posts work with a variety of fencing options. They can be used for chain-link fences, framed with wood for sturdy wooden fences or for simple wire fences. Whatever type of fence you’re using them with, steel fence post installation isn’t complicated if you have the right tools and a little know-how. Dig a hole approximately 3 feet across and 2 feet deep, using the post hole digger and a shovel. The standard rule is that 1/3 of the post should be in the ground. Spray rust inhibiter around the section of steel fence post that will be below ground level. Place the steel fence post in the hole. Measure the length of the post with the measuring tape to ensure that it is consistent with the height of other fence posts. Add or remove soil to raise or lower the post. Install the terminal, or corner, posts first when installing steel posts for chain-link fences. Run a line on one side of the terminal posts. Align the side of the line posts to touch the line from one side of the term
