Hi all,

If I want to set a new wooden post into the ground, what's the
difference
(FFS)?


Don't use either. Use the metal "hammer in" spikes, your posts will last
much longer.
Quicker too.

But look like ****e, wobble & rust. Also only take 3x3 posts which are too
weak for use anywhere with significant wind. Other than that, just fine.


4"x4" ones are also available. Galvanised and powder coated. I additionally
put some waxoyl in the socket.
To keep them straight whilst hammering in, you need to make a hole with a
bar in the ground first (like a pilot hole) going down full depth of spike.

Wobble factor depends on the depth of the sockets.
