Proper way to set fence posts?
So one of the first projects at our new house will be putting up a fence for our dogs. We are planning on doing a split rail type of fence with a mesh to fill the gaps. My questions is how to set the posts? I've seen things from just a 10" hole with a post In it with gravel filling the rest of it. This would allow water to drain off and hopefully prolong the life of the post. I've also seen a hole filled completely with concrete. Also even a few inches of gravel on the bottom and the rest with concrete..
What's everyone's thoughts?
