These are best IMO. Though if you are using wood posts, i'd say in future don't, if you will be staying long. Use concreate
or concreate god fathers.

Plastic wood maybe?...sometimes made from old plastic bags.

Just think of how much digging would be need if Adrian was digging up concrete posts...remember this country is filthy with trees. Wood is cheap and easy to use and remove.
Using concrete can also bring local building codes into play quicker and more expensively.

Stone and concrete and heavy plate steel would be best though... :samurai:

Concrete is a requirement to set the post unless you want it to fall over from it's own weight or a strong wind.

I didn't see one of those manual augers in the home despot.. anyway the digging is done

Yeah well...I've seen some shit.
I was thinking a picket fence not a wood privacy fence...yeah ya need something to keep those in place...clay stones and wood shims is what you'd use without concrete.

Seen lots of wood posts set without concrete in Kansas city's soft soil...
not here cause our soil is not soil its rocks...pain in the ass to dig in. You need a pick.

I've set wood posts in concreate, they sometimes rot. Then you have to get the concreate out, I used a jack hammer, and that caused a terrible pain in my head from damage to neck sinews. Concreate posts which let you slip in new panels are the best for repair, but don't look that good. Recently fenced using woven hazel panels, which lets the wind through.
