Don't use metposts, apart from costing £20 each, they are garbage unless you
have heavy clay soil.
Why not just get 3X2 timbers from B&Q (it's called scant) and a few litres
of wood preservative? - give them a coat a day for a week and then knock
them in the ground with a large hammer, they'll easily last 10 years before
rotting.

Have you tried knocking in posts when there's flint in the soil? I just
can't do it in my garden in Amersham. Even the metposts need starting
off.
