It rains a lot here. Lots and lots. Soil is a bit soft, I'm afraid that
without the concrete the posts would be likely to wobble. Don't really
know for sure, as most people sink their posts in concrete. I think a post
in concrete lasts longer then a post in web muddy soil, but again I'm
guessing.

It may last a bit longer, but it certainly will be more difficult to replace
when needed. Could be 10, 20, 50 years, but it will need replacement.


Will a post in concrete last longer then a post sunk in the dirt? What is
the life expectancy of a post in dirt or concrete? I'm using 4x4 pressure
treated, ground contact rated.

I don't know about the new stuff. Used top be rated something like 20 years.
