Building a wood fence in yard with a high water table?
I'm about to build a wood fence with pressure treated lumber and when I started digging the first post hole found that the water table is only 2 feet deep at a point in my yard. I kept on digging and hit clay at 3 feet.
The fence is going to be 5ft high + a small lattice. My original plan was to dig 4 ft deep post holes (Canadian winter) and use gravel to support the fence posts. Not sure how the underground water would affect rot. I've read that rot can't occur if oxygen isn't present, so I'm thinking that the underground water isn't going to be a problem as far as rot is concerned.
Now I'm thinking concrete might be a better option but am worried the water will freeze and crack it. Maybe gravel and sand combined? Any suggestions are welcome
coat the posts to depth with a product called "Black Jack", it's roofing tar. let that set. dig down about 30 inches and place an empty 5 gallon container at the bottom then fill 3/4 with concrete. place your post in the concrete and rope it off or use 2x4s to bring it level. add concrete to fill the container. repeat for each post. after they're set and before you bury them, coat the top of each concrete filled container with the black jack. 5 gallons of concrete may seem like overkill - but when the wind blows (in addition to your high water table) you'll be glad you got them.
