how far apart are fence posts on a wooden fence
For example, a corner brace post set 3.5' for a 4' fence would have to be 8' long. Line Posts: Line posts support the material intermittently along the length of each side of the fence and can be either steel t-posts or wooden posts. When selecting posts, be sure that the posts are at least 3 taller than the fence they are supporting. Line posts need to be set 2'-2.5' deep. T-posts should never be used as brace posts, only line posts. A 1.33 description is a post weighing 1.33 lbs/ft, while a 1.25 post is a post weighing 1.25 lbs/ft. Wooden line posts are typically 5-6 wide treated posts and are set 2'-2.5' in the ground. When using t-posts, we recommend a 5:1 ratio of metal t-posts to wooden posts. How far apart should my post spacing be? Most commonly, fence posts can be placed 8-12 feet apart.
