Just a thought as I have just had a new fence.....

Concrete posts sometimes seem to fail due to the steel reinforcing rods
corroding. Is there any point in trying to reduce moisture getting into
the concrete by using some sort of paint or sealant? Or isn't this
corrosion much of an issue on new posts?

The ones on my fence took more than 60 years to fail. I haven't bothered to
provide additional protection for their successors.
