Hey Evgen, have you ever had to wrestle with a fence that just won’t stay straight? I’ve been thinking about putting a few more posts in this old one and could use a bit of your practical, no‑stress advice.

Sure thing – I’ve wrestled with a wobbling fence more times than I’d like to admit. First thing: grab a laser level or a long straight board and line it up with the top rail of the fence. That tells you exactly where the problem is – is the whole thing leaning or just a section? If it’s a section, you can usually add a new post on that side and tie the fence to it, but make sure the post is deep enough – at least 2 feet in the ground, or 4 feet if you’re dealing with a windy lot. Use a post base or anchor plate so the post doesn’t just wiggle. Then run the posts a little tighter by adding a small section of wire or chain between the post and the fence line to keep it straight. Remember: a level, a bit of extra support, and a little patience – that’s the recipe for a fence that won’t quit on you.

Sounds solid, Evgen. I’ll grab a sturdy post and a good old level, stick to the plan, and give the fence a firm hand—no fancy gadgets, just steady work.

Glad to hear you’re rolling with it—just make sure the post is really straight from the start, and you’ll have that fence looking fine in no time. Good luck, and holler if you hit a snag!
