You are incorrect. Posts will rot must faster and will not be stable in just clay. Posts rot in concrete because they are installed incorrectly. The concrete is usually below or at grade and the water will pool on top of the concrete surrounding the wood. Thus, causing rot.

Most building codes require 6' feet height limits. Some less. There is no standard. Check your local code and CCR or build back the same height. Use kiln dried pressure treated posts. NOT from lowes or depot!!! 4x4 will work, but I always use 6x6 at gates if using wood. Dig a hole at minimum two feet. Closer to three is better. Fill with concrete to grade and have a little xtra concrete left over. Once it starts to set a little bit, shape some of the remaining concrete a little up the post (above grade) and away from the post at an angle like this /lllllll\. The water will then run away from the post base and wont be able to collect against the wood. Use a trowl or a small piece of wet wood to smooth it and make it look nice. It's also advisable to paint or use another product to protect the wood. If not paint, I like Waterlox Marine or OSMO products. Spar varnishes are the next best with multiple (a Lot!) of coats

The posts will be there long after you are not

Dig the hole 3'6" deep and backfill with a foot of pea gravel. Paint the wood with tar where it will come in contact with the concrete. yes to the concrete having a cap that slopes away from the wood, preferably with a top well above the water drainage level in a rain storm.



A bare post in damp soil will last less than 5 years. Installed like above it will last 30 or more.

Good morfnoevight All!

I'm not talking about setting them directly into the clay/dirt. I'm going 3' deep and using gravel to set. With it being an area that will be consistently moist plus our climate, my understanding is that utilizing the drainage afforded by the gravel should keep the posts drier/allow them to dry faster than concrete would. We have 8' as code here, and the fence will only be 6'. The bottom block will be essentially buried and the second will be specifically to hold the level under the fence, not really adding height. 30 years of erosion from the yard into the easement has caused a noticeable drop off at the fence line.

They each had far too many to risk it. I chopped them. Ogreberry had two small, immature pollen sacks so I plucked them off. Root Beer Float, Purple Thai and Sour Bubbly look fine so far. I'll keep my eye on them all, but I'll pay special attention to the Ogreberry since it already had surgery.

That many hermies in one tent?
What is the stressor in your tent?

I'd leave it 20 minutes if I was you............and don't light any naked flames.
