Saw a fence in my neighborhood leaning hard after just one season
The crew set the posts in pure clay without any gravel or drainage. We got a wet spring here in Ohio, and the whole line shifted like a wave. I know because the homeowner called me to fix it, and we had to pull eight posts. Has anyone else seen this happen with certain soil types?

Pure clay without any gravel" sounds like a recipe for a fence that thinks it's a noodle.

Maybe we could use it to make pottery instead...

My uncle's fence in Dayton has been in pure clay for 15 years and it's still straight. It's all about how deep you set those posts.
