Fence with some chest hair

I haven’t tried to peddle fuck-ups as wisdom for a while because I’ve been designing and implementing a fence with some chest hair.

After doing some fancy arithmetic documented in the previous posts, it becomes very apparent why a fence that complies with code has 6 inch gate posts.  And just in case you doubt me, and you very well should because I’m just some rando on the Internet, I can can tell you that by sheer accident and joyful turn of good luck, a real honest to goodness engineer ran across a couple of my ramblings and confirmed that I am indeed correct.  What reason do I have to lie.

My remaining shred of sanity combined with empirical proof that a termite-ravaged wooden fence that’s screwed to the Louisiana humidity can survive 5 hurricanes brought me back to reality.  I decided on 3 inch schedule 40 pipe mounted via custom-manufactured foot plates to four 1/2 inch hot-dipped galvanized bolts welded to a rebar structure set into a 18×33.5 inch footer.

This is what sane people do for a hobby.

You know I miss myspace.
