How deep to dig a fence post in PA?

The recommended post depth for fencing in Pennsylvania varies depending on the type of soil and conditions. However, as a general guideline:

- For clay or compacted soil: dig the post holes 1/3 to 1/2 the height of the fence post above ground.

- For sandy or loose soil: dig the holes at least 2/3 the height of the post.

These guidelines ensure the stability of the fence and provide adequate support to withstand wind and other forces. It's always best to check with local building codes and regulations, as certain areas may have specific requirements for fence post depth.
