- Post depth: Bury 1/3 of the post (60 cm for 1.8 m fence, 75 cm for 2.4 m fence)
- Post hole size: 3x the post width (30 cm diameter for 10x10 cm posts)
- Concrete per post: 1-2 bags of 27 kg (60 lb) concrete mix
- Rails: 2 rails for fences under 1.5 m, 3 rails for 1.8 m+ fences
- Pressure-treated wood is essential for posts and ground contact
- Check property lines and local codes before building
