How to fix leaning plastic fence?

[AchingBack]

I wish they made the plastic fence in a wood grain color. My neighbor has so much of it it makes his place look like a play farm set. I'm hoping someday it will be obscured by vegetation. So much white in the landscape is distracting.

Around here the frost heaves all of the fence posts, regardless if they are 1 or 4 ft into the ground. They come up 3-6 inches a year. My 6x6 pt posts I'll push back down in the spring with the bucket on my tractor (almost like hammering them) when the ground is thawed and wet. Otherwise I just use steel posts for corners, gates and white 6' fiberglass poles and white tape electric for the horses. They are not pretty, but I can push them back down by hand. The steel posts can be sunk with the bucket pushing down.

Our neighbor up the road used a post hole auger to build a nice double post 3 rail cedar fence (this style)View attachment 420264

While this fence in the picture is old and weathered, the posts are straight standing. Our neighbors fence- the majority of posts are tipped and leaning in all different ways. They did their best, but frost will wreak havoc.
Good luck straightening up your fence.

.........but frost will wreak havoc........

It's amazing what it can do. Steel lattice work towers such as high voltage power lines are often set and secured on large steel square pads buried quite deep in the earth, well below the frost line, to prevent them from sinking and to keep them plumb. I have heard of frost pushing up on the legs so hard the tension severed the legs. Considering the size of the legs, that's some skookum amount of force!

Well I got the front 400 feet straightened
I just took a shovel of dirt out of the west side of each post and yanked it straight then filled the void on the east side with soil and put a 4 X 4 wedge in on the east side and tapped it in. I'll see how it holds up.

My son in law is going to do the other run that is about 200 feet.

he is moving a section to another location. When he pulled the posts involved in that section that he is moving, we discovered the posts were only in about 2 feet.
