[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 445931, member: 2882"] I had about 60 driven last spring (in 2-1/2 hours, total) and was happy as a pig in mud.. Now that we're in the "extreme drought" category, I'm questioning whether or not I should have drilled them all and set them in concrete... Reason being, the posts are shrinking inward and the ground's shrinking outward.. Most of the posts -- no matter how well set when driven -- are loose now. Really loose.. I've had to rebuild two corners already and I've got two more that, if not for having been braced six ways to Sunday, would be coming out too.. Only thing holding them down right now is that there's more tension on the various brace wires than on the fence wires... I'm hoping everything gets wet and swells back tight this winter.. We'll see. Probably not much help, huh? [/QUOTE]
