How to install concrete fence posts?

1. Mark out the fence line and the position of each post and measure carefully to ensure the spacing matches the width of your fence panels.
2. Dig a hole for each post, typically around one-third of the post's length deep. The hole should be wide enough to allow room for concrete around the post and provide a stable foundation.
3. Place the concrete fence post into the hole and use a spirit level to check that it is perfectly upright. Brace the post temporarily with timber supports to keep it in position.
4. Pour post-mix concrete or a concrete mix into the hole around the post, following the manufacturer's instructions. Check the post remains level as the concrete is added, making any adjustments you need to before it begins to set.
5. Allow the concrete to cure fully before attaching fence panels or gravel boards.
6. Once set, remove any temporary supports and continue installing the remaining posts, checking alignment and spacing as you go.

How deep should concrete fence posts be?
