Appreciation post: I used to set all my posts in concrete without a gravel base...

Watched a 20 year old cedar fence I built in Boise start to lean after just 3 winters, and the inspector pointed straight at the soggy clay under the footings. Anyone else in a wet climate skip the gravel and regret it later?

Yeah, that clay turns into soup. Learned the hard way myself (always dig down and toss in some crushed rock now).

Ever wonder if the gravel itself needs to drain somewhere?
