My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How are the fence posts secured to the wall?

11 years ago
This is a beautiful fence! I'm choosing between ideas for one of my own. I'm curious as to how the fence posts are secured into the wall beneath. And the wall itself appears to have mortar lines? or is that an illusion - it says poured concrete...are there individual blocks or slabs of concrete? I love the design!

    Hi Tiffany,

    Thanks for the kind words! We installed the redwood fence posts first and then poured the concrete wall around them. The lines you see are the impressions left from the 2x6 lumber that was used to form the wall, commonly known as "board formed concrete."

    Hope this helps. Good luck on your project!

    Great Wall! Do you have the plans for sale?

    Did you use an re barb inside the wall for strength? Did you put the posts in the ground first?

    Did you have any cracking around the posts? Did you do anything to minimize cracking?
