Many people enjoy home projects such as building a fence. lots of people try building fences, but if you are not a professional sometimes these fences do not turn out very well. Lots of times they look crooked due to bad fence post alignment. If you are going to be building a fence , follow these steps and tips in order to align your fence posts correctly.

Before you can even think about starting the alignment of the fence, you will have to think about fence postspacing. As a rule of thumb, yourfence posts should be between 6 and 8 feet apart. 6 to 8 foot spacing makes it easy to use regular two-by-fours as cross bars for your fence. Remember, alignment is the most difficult part of building your fence, so take your time during this part of the building process. The straighter your fence posts are, the better it will look.

Here is a method that many Pasco fencing companies use, called the Corner Post Method, AKA the End Post Method. Dig all of the corner fest post holes and toss your fence posts in them. Now pour in some dry concrete and adjust the post so that it is the right height. Now put your level on the side of the post to make sure it is level on both sides. Now take a garden hose and run some water into the hole for 2 or 3 minutes. The water will soak into the concrete and harden, while any extra water will soak into the ground. After all the corner posts are in, wait until the next day to set the rest of your posts.

The next day, screw a screw into the back of each of your corner fence posts and then tie two mason’s lines from one fence post to the other. Run one line along the side of the fence posts, and another line over the top of the fence posts. Now you will be able to see where to dig your fence post holes, and once you do, you will be able to get all of your fence posts straight by lining them up so that the side of the fence post touches the string and the top of the fence post is right under the top string. Now take a level and make sure your fence post is level before dumping in your concrete.
