I'm getting ready to build about 1500 feet of fence for my horse pasture. There will initially be two strands of 1 1/2" electric tape on the posts. Eventually, there may also be 4.25" Ramm fence, alternating Ramm-tape-Ramm-tape-Ramm. The Ramm fencing is reinforced (3 12.5 guage steel wires) plastic fencing, which looks like board fence when installed. I plan to use large posts, probably 6x6 at the corners and gates, but I want your opinions on using the treated landscape timbers as posts in between. Home Depot has the posts and told me they were rated for ground contact. I would set them with a few inches of gravel as base, a bag of concrete per hole, then finished with dirt. I can get the landscape timbers cheap, $1.97 each. Will they last 20 years?
