Hello!
I'm wondering if I've built it wrong or bought poor materials.
I've just finished building a fence.. I mounted my posts on post shoes with lag screws.
However, I felt that the post shoes didn't give the posts 100% stability. More like "about 90%."
So I ended up casting all the posts with some lag screws that were half-screwed in as reinforcement. Now the posts are 100% stable. Have I done something wrong? Anyone else have the same experience with post shoes?
I thought it seemed like a good idea if you needed to replace a post in the future.
Grateful for answers.

Pole shoes are not designed for stability in the X or Y axis but only for bearing capacity in the Z-axis, i.e., directly from above. As far as I know, there are actually no good products for this purpose on the market, so you're referred to, for example, expansion bolts and post bases or similar.
Okay.. Now I understand better. ThanksTossegubbe said:
