This video instructs you with the necessary calculations, preparations, and work that goes into helping your anchor and bracing fence posts endure the test of time.

Thank you for this video. We're installing a six foot fence and thanks to you, I feel much more confident doing this.

This was what I needed to know. The only thing that would be helpful is to show how to brace it as I've never done this before.

FenceFins are a pair of metal fins that attach to the post and brace firmly against the soil, counting the wind force on the fence (instead of using concrete) - have you tried them? There are videos on here of how they work

Do you have to use supports for the posts?

What if the post were dipped in tar or some type of sealer painted on the post before putting in the hole, would that help seal them so rot would never occur?

Why give a thumbs down for a video and not expain why? In addition, for those that critique videos, why not make one then. Funny thing is with negative feedback on those who need to watch it, yet complain is funny to me.

Concrete is a waste of money and rots ur post, just tamp the dirt back in real good is all you need to do
