A client's complaint about my post hole spacing made me rethink my whole process
I put up a cedar fence in Boulder last fall, and the owner called me back a week later. He said, 'Your posts are too far apart, the whole middle section is already bowing.' I had them at 8 feet, which was standard for me. I went back, measured the sag, and he was right. Now I never go over 7 feet for a 6-foot cedar panel, no matter what. Has anyone else had a client point out a basic spacing flaw you just got used to?

Seriously, eight feet for a six-foot panel? That sounds way too far apart just thinking about it.
