Please help first time building a wood fence trouble shooting
Thank you for any guidance this is my first time building a fence and I feel I made a critical mistake with the post depth.
Fence will be 50' long 4' tall wood vertical cedar boards 1/4” gaps in a windy dry area.
The back of the fence doesn't matter as it's on my property too that won't be seen.
4x4" posts are about 6' a part. I have done 7' posts so far and have 3 left at the end. The issue is the posts are 5' long and I only put them about 12" in with 55lbs of concrete. i read after the fact that the posts should be more like 24" deep with even more concrete. Should I add additional posts or am I okay with only 12" deep on the posts?
Also for the rails I was only going to use two rails but now I feel I should do three to with the strength of it? Should the rails be between the posts or in front?
Thank you again for any help! It's very appreciated!
