Fence corner

[Gary Fowler]

Thanks for all of the advise. I like the H type suggestion. I will be using metal pipe for the post and a 45*down brace to a stub pipe.
I will set the post 4' deep and use 270# of Sakrete in each hole. I hope to get started today.
Thanks again and have a great day.

That is a lot of concrete. I have never used more than 2 50# sacks, whatever it took to fill up the hole. You really only need enough concrete to encapsulate the post and fill up the hole so it is setting in undisturbed soil. The weight is pretty much not needed especially for an H braced corner post.

Here are a few pictures of my standard corner/pull post. I like using the big ends of used utility poles (~12 to 20 inches), 3' deep packed with dry sand. I sometimes will add concrete (2 bags) if my sand is a little wet.

I cross braced with a 4" to 5" post and pull it all together with high tensile wire.
