I received a bid for a cedar mod panel fence for about $23 per foot with
posts set in concrete.
For 10% more, they would put a metal pipe inside the posts and set the
pipe in concrete. This is supposed to last longer. Has anyone any
experience with this? I have to decide whether this upgrade is worth it.
Some of my old fence posts did break at the ground level due to moisture.




As long as the wood does not contact the cement, you'll be ok.
