Why does post depth matter?
It is the difference between a fence that stays straight and one that leans in a few seasons, and it is a common place quotes differ silently.
Who is responsible for the property line?
Usually you are. Building on a neighbour’s side is expensive to undo, so confirm the line before work starts.
