I read a post here from 2007 asking about the longest concrete posts available for a rear fence in a 4 foot drop ["Long concrete fence posts"]. Thermo & JohnD replied. You advised that some suppliers had 10 foot lengths.
We have exactly same problem and want to use concrete gravel boards with, ideally 6x6ft, wooden panels in slotted concrete posts. JohnD's reply to OP said....
"... and they would need a very deep root. If the fence is not very long (I mean if you don't need a lot of them because of cost) you might use a steel as is used on motorway fencing."
Clarification on that last bit please... Does it mean use steel posts instead of concrete OR anchor/root the long concrete posts with some sort of steel spike or sleeve? And where do you buy them? I'm lost, so any help will be very welcome. Thanks all.
