This might be the MOST boring question on here but....

I have had my house about a year now and i am replacing all the wooden posts with concrete ones. The yard is quite big with about 50-60 posts to do of which i have done about half. Do concrete ones basically last for ever? will they see me out? just cant face the idea of digging them out again EVER with about 100kg of concrete round each one

Dunno but the wind last night snapped all our 4+4 fence posts like twigs
Concrete posts would be a nice option for replacement, but not in a council house its not.

concrete posts are the biz, last forever, just dig em deep,and use the 6" gravel boards too, look at these in the background.

they dont last forever. In strong wind with a 6ft fence and fully closed panelling they will(DO) snap. They are reinforced but not pre stressed. I used to make em. The higher you go with the fence then i advise you to fit open panels to let wind through.
