    Use timber posts & gravel boards, and you'll be replacing them again in ~10 years.
    I'd suggest using concrete posts & boards - They will cost slightly more, but will outlast you and the next owner.

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
