Question

How often should I put in a line post?

Community Answer

Determine the actual distance of the section and then divide the distance by 10. Round your answer down to the next whole number - this is the required number of line posts. For example, if you had a fence that was 55' long, the formula would be: 55' ÷ 10 = 5.5. Round down to five, and you see that you would need five line posts for this section. If you place five line posts in between two terminal posts, it will yield six sections of fence. To determine the proper, equidistant spacing of line posts, divide the number of sections into the total distance.
