To give you an idea of how unreliable iron is, Bronze Age civilizations actually knew about iron. Iron is actually the fourth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust.

The ancient Greeks would sail to Britain—literally going to England in a rowboat—to get the tin.

“Dirt” posts follow their namesake and are the best option for bare ground. Before installation, dig a hole of approximately 12-18 inches with a diameter of 12 inches for each post in the fence. Then lower the fence post into position. Filling the hole with concrete permanently anchors the post to the ground.
