How to put up a fence so that the pillars do not lead

A typical story: the posts of the new fence were led in the first spring after it was put up. The customer is annoyed, but there is no demand from the brigade: look for the wind in the field.

In this article I will tell you about a reliable technology for installing pillars even on heaving soils, in which the fence is level and the pillars "do not lead".

The power of frost heaving - the process of cyclic freezing - thawing of water in the ground, due to which the buried foundation or fence post is deformed.

The most effective way to make a permanent fence is to weld a sheet of metal at least 2 mm thick to the bottom of the fence post. This will require digging a hole with a larger diameter, but will give the structure stability.

This design looks something like this, the only thing is, obviously, the fence post should be higher:

It is important to bury such a "platform" of the pillar 25-30 centimeters below the level of soil freezing.

Some say that concrete with such a scheme can not be used, and the same soil that was removed is added to the backfilling of the pit. But with the obligatory compaction of the layers.

I disagree with this and still recommend pouring 3-4 buckets of concrete with rubble into the pit.

A pillar of this design is indifferent to lateral freezing and the forces of frost heaving of the soil. Stands rooted to the spot!
