of inches of the surface.

The plan was for a ranch style fence with 4"x4" tanalised posts at 6'
intervals and I'm wondering what's the best way to set the posts to give
them the greatest longevity.


Concrete posts?


Would be sensible, but ugly. I don't want them.

Steel 'metpost' type holders?


The work of Satan Sorry, but I hate these too.
