Our Homeowners Say

“I could not be happier, my property lies next to a lake where we regularly get 50+ mph wind gusts. The winds pushed over my old wood fence with wood posts. Six months after install, my PostMaster fence is still perfectly straight.”

Nate M • Homeowner

“When I replaced the fence around my backyard, I had to make 3 fences both meet the township fence regulations and match my neighbors’ fences. PostMaster made the job easy by being able to change styles without having to use different posts for each section.”

Gary S • Homeowner

How deep should a steel post be?

The depth of the hole should be 1/3-1/2 the post height above ground (i.e., a 6-foot tall fence would require a hole depth of at least 2 feet).

How far do you set metal fence posts?

The standard spacing for fence posts is 8 to 25 feet apart, depending on the type of fence. A standard wood fence would require posts 8 feet apart, while a high-tensile wire could span 25 feet.
