What happens here
Before posts are driven, some require preparation. Use a power planer to create a chamfer on the top edge of the posts. This rounded or beveled edge helps prevent splintering when posts are driven into the ground, especially if the wood is dry. It also provides a cleaner, more finished look. This process ensures posts withstand impact better and improves the aesthetic appeal of the fence.
Goal: Chamfer post tops to prevent splintering and improve aesthetics
