To reduce fence wobble/flexing, could you install every other post in opposite direction? Another tactic might be to install a double post every other post (or however often needed to stiffen it up).

So I use these all the time for customers who want a privacy fence they work great and are very easy to use. But I've never done a gate off them, i seen the video , so do I make 2 gate posts for the gate or just one gate post for a single opening ? Not understanding that part of the video please respond

[@philkingmke]

Yeah there's no way to do a gate off of these alone. It looks like they're only good for straight lines...which they're pretty good at. But if you're like me, you need a gate somewhere in the middle of the run. So, I dont think it makes sense to have 8 of these and then have 2 4x4 wood posts in the same run just because you need a gate.

[@ADAM-us3iq]

@@philkingmke i agree its more work more material for the way they show it, so what I do now is just get 2 regular tubular posts or 2 wooden 4x4s it saves money and time

Awesome!!! I’ve been searching for how to make fence and I found this video

[@robertcopeland9298]

I only have access to 8' postmaster fence posts locally and my locality in Ohio wants 38" holes dug for the fence posts. If I can only get 8' posts, what's the best way to float the post above 14" of concrete so that I have 72" of post above the ground for the 6' high fence?

[@Luckingsworth]

Just stand board that are your desired height and attach them paralel to the posts on either side. Then attach your board to those. Better to have the weak point leveraged at the top than the base. Thats how I am doing an 8 ft high fence using these with a 48" frost depth.

[@1newageoutlaw]

I am really considering this to replace my old rotten fence. My only concern is the sway of the post forward to back. I wonder if I did every 3rd or 4th doubled up like the gate post if it would help the front to back integrity of the fence.

[@allaboutroofing2]

I have a 21-year-old 6-ft postmaster fence and it doesn't sway at all by design, even in high wind. All posts are original and have survived hurricane level winds of around 120 mph on more than one occasion. My back fence is not attached to the side fences either and never has swayed or budged with it being the most exposed since I have open space behind my property. My rentals always have broken wooden posts that I replace with postmaster as necessary. Well worth the investment- do it, you won't be sorry. P.s. every one of my neighbors that installed a traditional wooden post fence has had to replace it and still deals with entire fence sections blowing down. I have converted several to post master after them seeing I never deal with that and did it right the first time. Btw, the posts were set in mixed concrete. Not a fan of dry setting or using dirt only. I also don't hang gates from them, I use 8x8 cedar. If you can swing the extra expense get dimensional western red wood cedar 2x4s and install cedar 3/4" thick pickets. Mine is 21 years old this year and looks as good as new after pressure washing. I don't stain it.

[@BlueOriginAire]

[@danmc2678]

Don't these sway when you push on them? It sounds like they don't have the "feel" of a post fence because they move when you push on them?

[@danmc2678]

@Leopold I completed a fence build last year with these posts. Love them. I got the beefier version, I don't recall the name? They also come in longer lengths. The fence will definitely move or sway if you push on it the same way a stop sign will with a lot of weight to hold up as these posts are very similar in construction to a metal stop sign post.. Recommend anchoring it along the way to perpendicular brick walls or other fences as I did. I will never go back to wood posts again.

the truss screws shown and the actual screws used in the video are two different screws. which one is used?

[@real-talk_5304]

Build 1 fence with the postmaster posts. I wasn’t really a fan. Fence looks great. And is super straight. It was still recommended to us to dig down and use concrete so that didn’t save time. Then when built the fence would shake bad. You shake 1 panel and 8 panels down would be shaking. I believe we will be sticking with 4x4 posts for now. Just seem much more sturdy.

[@seanseoltoir]

Around here (TX Gulf Coast), the problem with the 4x4 posts is that they start to rot at ground level and end up snapping off at that point the next time a hurricane comes thought... When Hurricane Ike came through, I lost by back fence (250 ft). For the replacement post, I used 1/8" wall thickness 4" square tubing 8 ft long, concreted about 2.5 ft in the ground plus concrete inside the posts... When Hurricane Beryl came through recently, that fence was still in perfect shape, although the side fences that had pressure treated 4x4 posts ended up with a few posts broken and the sections down... On another property that I own, it lost a few fence sections that had wood 4x4 posts during Beryl and I will be replacing the posts with 8 ft t-posts with the cedar sections attached to it... I'm driving the t-posts about 3 ft into the ground and will drill holes for attaching the pressure treated rails to the steel t-posts. I'm not sure how well it will work, but it's only a 40 ft section of fencing, so it's worth experimenting with it... If it doesn't feel sturdy enough to me, I'll make each post a buttressed design by welding an solid steel rod from the upper portion of the post to another rod or short t-post driven 2 ft or so into the ground.

P.s. the posts are set in concrete, My goal is to extend the post at a top rail and swap the pickets out to new 6' ers.

[@Justforfun-ek7et]

How quickly are you supposed to be able to start adding the 2x4 stretchers after doing the concrete? Am I supposed to just use the string to make absolutely sure they stay in while the cement hardens?

[@haydenbriggs]

If you use fast setting concrete it should me no time at all. But seeing as your comment was 11months ago, I'm sure you've already done the job.

[@JohnB-pp5dn]

Cutting the top off the post eliminates the galvanizing. Depending on weather, you could have rust within a week.

[@ryankennedy9414]

They are putting a 2x6 on top. It won't be in direct weather. Over the years a wet board may transfer moisture into that but you won't see it and it will just rust the surface, not migrate down.

[@JohnB-pp5dn]

​@@ryankennedy9414 I do a lot of work with steel. Raw, uncoated steel will rust even when not exposed to direct moisture. It will degrade and weaken. Unless it's Cor-Ten steel, which metallurgical properties want it to rust.

[@teddennison344]

I am kinda curious what one could do to avoid that cutting. In addition to the rust issue, the equipment they used to do it strikes me as something an amateur shouldn't be using over their head like that.

@Master Halco , I purchase these post and need to figure out the best way to install them securely with corners and turns greater than 90 degrees. Some turns for example would be 120 degrees for a partial hexagon shape and some corner would be roughly 95-98 degrees. Please let me know what all options are available asap so I don't have to return all the posts for refund? I have called the local Master Halco office and they mentioned to terminate at the corners/turns as an option but that would leave a possible gap or issues later on. I would prefer to connect everything as one fence system.

[@cvzphotography]

You need to rip vertical strips to attach to either side of the post, typically a 2x2. If you wanted an angled corner i would rip these vertical pieces with your desired angle of the return run.

[@thepman3397]

@Master Halco Please explain the gate building process a little better. This video shows the construction of two different gates - one single gate and one double gate - This makes the instructions difficult to follow. I am trying to build a single gate.
