All your questions answered

How deep should fence posts be buried?

Fence posts should be buried to a depth of at least 1/3 of their total length, with a minimum of 600mm to 900mm for standard farm fences. In loose or sandy soils, deeper holes (up to 1.2 metres) provide better stability. For added strength, compact the soil or use concrete to secure the posts.

What are the fence posts called?

Fence posts can be referred to by their material or function, such as:
  • Strainer Posts: Heavy-duty posts at corners or gates for structural support.
  • Line Posts: Intermediate posts placed along the fence line to support wires.
  • Steel Y-Posts or Star Posts: Common metal posts used for wire fencing in Australia.
  • Wooden Posts: Traditional timber posts used for rural or decorative fencing.

Should fence posts be set in concrete or not?

Setting fence posts in concrete provides greater stability, especially in loose soil or for high-stress areas like gateposts or strainer posts. However, in well-drained, compact soil, posts can be secured without concrete by tamping the soil tightly around them. Concrete is recommended for longevity and to prevent shifting over time.
