[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 162354, member: 324"] Wood is less expensive, but hella more maintenance. My next fence will be white vinyl. Onecall is the only place to go, to mark utilities, but it's not an exact science. When I installed a fence 10 years ago, I nicked my neighbors phone line. That was messy. Gravel in the bottom of the post hole, then the post, then quickcrete, then water, did the trick very well. Spend the $5, and get a post hole level. Even better, borrow mine for free. It's a three way level, that is held in place by a fat rubber band. Use one. Borrow mine. Whatever. Just don't eyeball level. OH, and if you're going to use any sort of equipment to dig the holes, take a tip from me, and don't just grab a handful of gas and dig the powerhead right down to the ground. Especially in clay-ish soil. They do not have reverse. Or, at least the one I rented did not. I called Acme Rents to ask how to back it out of the ground, and they actually laughed. [/QUOTE]
