Then you can follow these steps:
1. Dig a hole 4′ deep on each corner of the yard where you want the fence. Set the fence post at each corner.
2. Tie a string on the corner post and walk to the next post. Make sure to tie the string TIGHT.
3. Dig a hole 3′ deep every 10′ center post to center post.
4. Fill hole with water, place post in water, displace water with dry concrete, mix. Level, plumb. repeat
We can recommend 2′’ metal poles to use for your posts, they last longer. Make sure to use the thicker gauge not the wimpy cheap ones.

What are the some good fence building materials?
When we talk about a residential home fence, we are normally talking about wood, it is rare for any other material to be used for a fence.
Security fences are normally steel.
So for a fence we would recommend concrete posts and gravel boards which last for decades and wooden panels that slot into the concrete posts and can be easily replaced.
