1 Treat timber 18" from bottom with creosote or the like and allow to
dry.
2 Dig 18" deep hole a spade size wide square hole for each post, add a
few pebbles to bottom.
3 Put post in hole and lightly nail a piece of timber to each side at
around 45 degrees to support in upright position, like a TeePee shape.
4 Using 6 to 1 ballast/cement mix, mix up to a stiff mix (Like a cake
mix) and pour into hole leaving 2" from top local ground area level. Cover
with polythene if rain expected.
5 Wait to set (2/3 days)
6 Carefully remove the support timbers and backfill over top of cement
bases with sieved soil.
7 Seed area with grass seed or wait for it to infiltrate.
Voila!

When fixing the rails to the posts mark the rails and drill through using a
drill slightly larger that the screw used to fix it onto the post and screw
it on. That way if you need to take it apart for any reason it will be
easier and allow it to be put back up again.



Thanks, I'll print this out!
