You still need the posts to be installed to the same depth as the other posts.
So if you have fur feet showing on level ground, that's what you want on the
incline. The posts on the incline have to remain plumb, or level up and down.
That can be a challenge if you refer to the ground. Using

Kevin,
I don't know where in the country you are, but many states have a service
called one call. You need to call them and they will take care of
sending someone out to mark any buried utilities.

Hi Mike,
First welcome to the list.
Thanks to you and others who have pointed me to
checking for under ground utility concerns. I
called and have it scheduled to be marked.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for this advice.
The posts have a flared spade part, which I guess

think this sort of post would need a rather large
PVC pipe to accommodate it. I do understand your
rationale with this idea, I just don't know if it

Hi,
I am somewhat of a newbie to this list, but hello to all.
Yes, it would be advisable to check out the risk of punturing an electrical or
water cable/pipe.
If the metal posts are not too big, a crowbar is a good item to make it easier
to get the posts into the ground. Crowbar is the term
That is a fairly easy job to do. You need to call the utility companies in
your area and ask about checking for wires of all sorts, water and gas lines.
It's a free service unless you wreck one of the lines.
Years ago I was putting up some chain link fencing and was trying to drive in
the
I don't think I know what welded wire is, I do have some experience with chain
link though.
If you are sinking your posts more than about a foot you would be well advised
to have the utilities checked. Usually the gas, water and electricity, phone
and cable will make a pretty straight line
a blind trick i learned about laying out a line with a string is not to
start the string at the corner of your house but to run the string
starting from a point along the wall as far back as you can.
its easy then to make sure the string is equal distant along the wall then
when it passes out
You've gotten some very sound advice on this, but I'd like to throw out two
additional considerations just because they're things that aren't usually
thought of when installing fencing:
1) You may want to consider using PVC pipe for setting your fence posts. The
idea here is that you buy
