[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3945746, member: 15054"] I put wood posts in the year 1999 and 2000 and heaped up the concrete. I had to replace 2 posts 2 years ago because my son let his dog dig along the fence and cover the heaped concrete and that dirt held too much moisture and rotted the fence post. I do love me some Structural pipe but if that is not an option the Fox building supply has .095" wall posts and I use those. Home depot and lowes call their posts heavy duty but they are only .065" wall. Structural I used was the same 2 3/8" outside diameter and was .156" wall thickness. Steel is all I will use now as the lumber in the last many years has became JUNK. I have one original post in my yard ( circa1974) hexagon shaped and smells like a railroad tie. It refuses to die. My gate slams against it all the time. [/QUOTE]
