Part of my fence was blown around by the storms we've had thus far and 2 of my posts are bent over and one is pulled out of the ground.

Based on the way the fence was built (home builder didn't pull a permit, city made them change it on builder dime after my neighbor complained) the way the wind blows causes this particular 45 degree to whip in high winds.

Looking for a heavier duty pipe (read more wall thickness) to use besides fence post pipe. Where could I find scrap well casing pipe? I think something thick walled & 3' down in a concrete footer would solve the issue (or the fence panels will be obliterated in high winds).

Any suggestions would be helpful, especially in the DFW area.

Thanks!

Reach out to a local area supplier like Master Halco or Binford. They are everywhere.
You can buy commercial grade posts there. No need to go to drill stem.
Your posts should be 2' in the ground with 1-1/2 to 2 bags concrete per hole, depth is key.

Consider adding extra horizontal rails as well.

Thanks! I'll look into that.

I think the posts that bent are deep enough, but the material was too thin for the gusts. The middle post pulled up but looks like it was only a foot deep.

I'm not in that market, but I'll second the commercial grade posts. I looked at well casing, and had a hard time finding it for such a small quantity, locally. I eventually found some, and it was cheaper to double up on commercial posts (every 4 feet instead of 8) by a long way, and there were just so many more fittings that were compatible.

The commercial stuff was pretty heavy duty, too. We'll see windstorms annually that see 50mph+ sustained, and 80mph gusts, with no issues. Our local supplier has it listed as "Tuff" posts, but I think that's their in-house name for it. Hopefully, otherwise you find what you're looking for.

I put my posts in with a driver and concreted the top 2 ft. Pipe supplier had galvanized sch 40 posts 21 ft, after splitting in 2, each post is 10.5'…so driven portion is 5.5'.

I don't plan to move and I'm not redoing posts.

Won't have to with sch 40 posts! Very stout. The house might blow down, but not those...

Get some 2 7/8" drill stem. Weld a 36" piece of 3" angle iron on the top for anchoring the fence.
Blast and paint it before installing
Bury it 4 feet deep and concrete it in. Won't move.

I have a yard fence welded out of drill stem, bought a couple trailer loads of it years ago.
Used it on the posts and top rail. 1" schedule 40 for lower 3 rails.

You can get drill stem at scrap yards & most independent weld shops, they always have some laying around.

If you were closer, I would give you enough drill stem to fix your fence.
I'm 7 hours from DFW.

If you're 7 hours south of DFW, I am in the market for some
