Shoutout to the old guy at the lumber yard who told me about fence post spacing
He said the old rule of 8 feet between posts is fine, but for a really solid vinyl fence in a windy spot, you should go down to 6 feet. I tried it on a job last week in Omaha and the difference is huge. Anyone else adjust their spacing for different materials or locations?

So @the_abby, did that blog say anything about spacing for wood fences?

Read a contractor's blog that said the same thing about wind. They argued tighter spacing fights the sail effect better than just using heavier posts. Makes total sense after seeing your results.
