An 8 ft round galvanized steel post won't cost you much less, and you'll have to purchase brackets.

Today I learned.....
I'll stick with the old wood fence posts.

They're more expensive than you likely think and these days offer little protection against rot. I'm 100% installing steel posts, just a matter of which ones.

And you think those steel posts won't rust. Yeah, they are powder coated ON THE OUTSIDE, but what about moisture seeping inside and rusting from the inside out.

When I install 4 x 4 treated posts I will dig the hole then center the post in the hole and fill it with mixed cement. I will let the cement come up above ground level and slope it away from the post so any water runs away from the post-----------so no standing water on the post.
