Post setting:
Hole depth: 1/3 of post length + 6" gravel base
Hole diameter: 3× post width (typically 9-12")
Concrete: 1-2 bags per post (80 lb bags)

Post Depth Guidelines

Minimum post depths:
4 ft fence: 24" deep (use 6 ft posts)
6 ft fence: 30" deep (use 8 ft posts)
8 ft fence: 36" deep (use 10 ft posts)

Frost line considerations:
Set posts below frost line in cold climates
Add 6" gravel at bottom for drainage
