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?
Don't be so bloody daft. They are only a tenner or so to replace.
They should easily last a couple of decades.

Start saving up now. Thats 50 pence a post per annum. Can you
afford a penny a week?

Don't be so bloody daft yourself - it isn't the cost of the posts
themselves, it's all the bloody labour to get the old ones out and
the new ones in the ground that's the problem!!

The answer is to buy good grade ones in the first place then.

hmmmm...do you imagine that concrete fence manufacterers make several grades
of each product?
