If you erect a new fence owned by you do you have to face the good side to your neighbors?
Simply no you do not have any legal responsibilities regarding your new garden fence but make sure that it is actually in your garden you can check this by looking where the supporting posts are as they must be on your ground and if they face your neighbours garden you may need to move the fence in a little bit otherwise they could take it down if the posts are on their land so the answer is no as long as the supporting posts are on your own ground then you can look at the pretty side of your fence.
When installing field fence which side of the post does the fence go on?
Usually the posts go on the side of the fence of the person installing it. This is especially true if you build a wooden fence. If the post are on the neighbors side then their kids could be climbing up and down on the fence. I personally would want this. Good luck.

How do you install cedar fence posts?
You need a post hole digger and cement. YOu have to measure out the area that you are putting the post. YOu can space them apart every 6-8 feet. You dig the hole and have the cement prepared and when the hole is done you put the cement around the post. The cement should come with directions for mix. You should put the post down at least 10" for it to stay in the ground well. I don't think 10 inches will quite do it. A good rule of thumb is half the heaight of the fence but nothing less than 30 inches deep. The diameter of the hole should be at least 4 inches greater in diameter than the post but nothing smaller than 6 inches. Make sure your holes look more like a bell than an ice cream cone because frost in the winter time can actually lift the post out of the ground.
Has anyone used a fence post called the z post?
Yes I have been using the Z Post for months now. I am a fence contractor and since the EPA forced the removal of all the good toxic chemicals from pressure treated lumber; there has been a huge demand for metal fence posts. There are several metal posts on the market but none compare to the new Z Post. The other metal posts need hardware that is a pain to install. The Z Post doesn't need any hardware and has a finish like brown wrought iron where all the other posts are gun metal gray. We also use a post called the postmaster. It is a good post but the Z Post is much better. And cheaper too. The only problem we have had is that you must turn the post upside down when installing good neighbor style kick boards. We set a few posts the wrong way but its just in your lay out. Go to their site for installation instructions. http://www.zpostinc.com/

How much does a split rail fence cost in Michigan?
You should visit your local home store to find out how much the posts are and how much each rail is. You can then estimate the cost yourself. You will want one post every 6' and three rails. Measure your yard or area you plan to fence. Divide the number of feet by 6 to see how many posts. Be sure to add an extra post for each corner. For each post you will 3 rails + 3 extra rails to finish. Add the concrete to set the posts and labor costs and you have a good idea of the total cost.
