Lots of information missing here; how deep posts were pounded, type of post wood, location of fence (what kind of weather conditions does it see), etc.

For me, I would look at the past conditions that the fence has been exposed to. I don't know what winds are like in your area, but around us it gets plenty windy. Our electric utility knows how to install power poles. And yet, many poles will angle to one side after a while. Happens when ground is wet and in high winds; not so much from ground heave.

I would assume your wood fence captures MUCH more wind than a power pole, so I'm going to HEAVILY lean towards this being your cause. Just simple maintenance due to natural events. I will guess that there is nobody to blame.

I will also suspect that whether spraying or mowing, clearing grasses/weeds from the fence is likely not going to have any bearing on what you're asking about.

Just my opinion, but an interesting question to ponder this morning. Thanks!

One last thing -- vegetation and terrain can funnel and channel wind, increasing its speed in some areas over others. I know this to be true because of our house vs. our pasture. In the open, wind is usually about 30% to 40% less than at the house. But depends on the direction of the wind and how the wind interacts with vegetation. ...We have no terrain. All flat! :shock:

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
