When i set my fence posts i made particular efforts to be sure that they were all lined up perfectly. Now because of board warping they are out of alignment ( example B), i also have boards that are warped up and down as well. My 4x4 posted that i painted also have long vertical cracks in them now which look horrible.
So far i have only used a jack and a pipe to jack the (example A) back straight again and then i put some braces on it to hold it in place and i have been putting water on it every day now for 2 days in the hope it will stay straight. Is this the correct thing to do?
This is all treated lumber. See picture enclosed, i have drawn what im dealing with.
Any suggestions on what i can do to correct the warping? Can i cut slots in the board to help it stay straight or maybe even drill some holes in it to releave pressue?
Thanks
