I need to install two pressure treated 4x4s in my yard that I plan to
hook a cable to as a dog run. This way he can safely chase rabbits from
my garden area. The posts are 10' long. My soil is mostly clay. How
deep should I dig the post holes for this length post? Also, I plan to
fill the holes with sacrete concrete mix. The bags are 80 lb. each at
the local hardware store. How many bags will I need for each post? Any
other tips or ideas about this installation would be most helpful.

I would plant them four feet deep. I passed by a pallet of Sacrete at
work today, and noticed they were 80 pound bags (it may come in
different sizes, too). I'd plan on at least half of the 80 lb. bag for
each post, maybe more. Four feet down in clay, and then mixing Sacrete
- you're talking about *real* work!. Note that all of this is merely my
opinion - there is certainly more than one way to skin a cat . . er, post.
