Setting Posts in the Ground Posts may be pounded or augured. When augured, posts must be anchored at corners, ends, and low points. The following are two ways to anchor and set a post: 1) Attach a wood block near the bottom of the post (block system); or 2) Attach pieces of high-tensile wire and a fence staple at the bottom (spider system). Line Post Spacing on Curves The spacing of line posts on curves is determined by the sharpness of the curve. Refer to the diagram below to determine the correct spacing. Fence alignments that change direction by less than 40 degrees are considered curves. Fence alignments that change direction by more than 40 degrees are considered corners. Diagram courtesy of NRCS 12
