Concrete fence posts

[morphe]

I have used wooden fence posts, and they do not do the job, 2 years and they snap due to rot and high winds.
How much are concrete posts, which are the best types and where from?
How big should the base be for the posts, the wind will batter during the winter.

They are okay providing they're done correctly, best to have air-flow type fence panels to allow high wind to take the pressure of the fence panels by letting the air though the panel.

How big should the base be for the posts, the wind will batter during the winter.

Generally speaking 1/3 of the post in the ground or minimum of 600mm,
