Fence: Part 4b - Posts

I finished installing that last of the fence posts.

The two posts at the end of the main run needed to be "tuned" so that they would be in line with the rest. There were too many roots in the way to get the stake in line perfectly.

Here's a photo of what I did. I did a big notch and then filled the remainder of the sleeve with a piece of wood that I screwed onto the main post. I may add a little piece to aesthetically fill the notch at the bottom.

I also installed the posts at the end of the driveway. They will be short (finish height to be between 42" and 48") for better visibility. I decided to screw on the reflectors to help my neighbors not hit the post. (Though I think the garbage truck is the most likely to do the hitting.)

I installed the post that is the return where the driveway swing gate will lock. 

And I installed the two return posts where the side road swing gates will be. These are primarily to add some strength to the fence.

And I installed the the posts along the run behind the shed.

Now for the rails!
