4 segments of my garden fence blew down. The wood posts just broke right at the ground I guess they partly rotted. We had a terrible wind storm. Insurance company claims $4,270 to repair (sink 4 new posts, re-attach the wood panels to them). It seems a ridiculous sum.
Anyway I understand the best way to sink a post is to dig 24 inches and pour concrete. But where the soil is clay and your average dirt, pretty firm, is it an option to just sink the post that deep and pack the dirt down around it without concrete?
