It's bigger than I expected, "said the actress to the vicar"

The picture explains why it was a struggle to get it out. 4 inch post, 6ft fence. This one is in my own garden! I replaced 4 four posts next door last week and they were a foot shorter and a 1/3 of the concrete in there. I have one more to do tomorrow.

750mm in the ground by the looks of it,was done correctly

[Andrew Reed]

Yes was about 750-800mm in the ground, which I though was deeper than would be normal. But hey, I do very few fencing jobs and only then repairs, so not sure what normal would be. The main problem was as the amount of concrete. The one next to it had even more on it.

that is a lot of concrete,was it haunched at the top,this helps a lot with the rot, fair play to you for getting it out
