[quote]You see a lot of properly built fences with 8’ spaced posts sagging? The only time I’ve seen a fence sag is when some dumdum installed his runners oriented horizontally and used clips to hang them between posts. Yuck[/quote]Post spacing 8' with 16' runners crown up should never sag right? My ...

I guess I don't get where the shear force is coming from on the rail to post attachment. If it's wood shrinkage I don't think a 2x4 shrinks much lengthwise. Is it the weight of the fence pulling down?...

That's my bad, I just checked and it's a 10" auger. So at your estimate I'd need a little over 100# of concrete per post. ...

I've never seen a fence with the runners carriage bolted to the posts, only screwed or nailed. I imagine that would be strong, and since you're drilling the holes there's less risk of splitting the ends. ...

Can't link as I will be making them myself (waterjet), but they will be similar to these Simpson ones except without the folded ears. [img]https://cascadesupply.com/cdn/shop/products/AC4_inst_700x700.jpg?v=1648063555[/img] And of course instead of going on top the post, my runners will be on t...

[quote]people are giving good real world advice here.[/quote]I know, and it's much appreciated. [quote]Don’t overthink it with foam or clips. Just do it the right way that’s been tried and true.[/quote]I think I've decided against the foam, but I will still use the clips. The staggered 16s will add...

I don't think anyone commented on the 8' posts, but since everyone is commenting on strength should I get 10s and trim them? And maybe dig my holes a couple feet but then drive the posts into the dirt as deep as the skid steer can shove them?...

[quote]The goal should be to do the job right, not to do it with the least amount of work.[/quote] I just meant that the $110 material cost might not be the only cost associated with using 16 footers. [quote]not sure what you are getting at here, the runners will be inline if you use 16 footers a...

[quote]Use 16' 2x4s instead, alternating where your top/middle/bottom runner end on each post. It'll be stronger that way.[/quote]I like strength! For whatever reason 16s are more per foot than 8s, 68 cents vs 52 cents, and that works out to about $110 more for this job. I'm not sure if it would ...

[quote]they need more wholesome cartoons to watch instead of the shite that’s on tv now.[/quote]Tons of sex jokes and innuendo in those old cartoons. Male characters acting like females all the time, etc. Some samples: [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGE3oYp7tNY[/embed]...
