Have to point out that those cedar posts only needed to last 30 years. I hope you can put them to good use! When I was a GC I built several homes with permanent Wood Foundations. Back then we had CCA treated lumber and called it .80 (versus the standard .40), while nowadays it would be UC4-C.
I have always used treated posts and crushed gravel to secure fence posts. I dig a little deeper and add maybe 6 of gravel to assist with drainage around the bottom of the post. The post is then set with the aid of a rock bar. If the gravel is properly compressed the post should never waver.I have some fences (with original posts) still standing after 25 - 30 years. I would like to point out that I have noted that every fence (in concrete) is rotted out within 5 to 10 years. He suggested crushed rock (what I would call gravel, see Definitions of various sand, gravel, and rock products) instead. 2  A local fence company said they just set the posts in compacted dirt, but use 5x5-inch posts.
