dig a hole about a foot square and a foot deep sink a metpost in, these have a spike which is about two foot. then put your post in usually 4"x4", then buy from B&Q usually some ready made postmix, this is a special concrete where you pour the mix in the hole an d add water afterwards, this will set in about 10-15 minutes, when your posts are set screw the panels to the posts this is more reliable than nailing them in. alternitively use four foot pannels instead of the six foot ones and if you require privacy, put some trellis on the top

Buy the metal spiked post slots. You drive them down to about 1 metre, shorter one are available, and the post slips into the complete fitting. These penetrate farther down where the soil is firmer and does tend to stay dryer. Also if you have clay below top soil then this does stay hard as it is almost waterproof. You need a spirit level and a good side club hammer or small sledge hammer for the job. Put a solid piece of timber on the top of the spike fitting before you hit it to stop bending of the metal sleeve. Treat posts with preserver well, before putting in and they will last for a ling time. From time to time dig around the post where it enters the metal sleeve and pour plenty of wood preserver down. Best of luck.

Fences can be the source of bitter arguments between neighbours, and there are often special laws to deal with these problems. Common disagreements include what kind of fence is required, what kind of repairs are needed, and how to share the costs. A fence is a freestanding structure designed to restrict or prevent movement across a boundary. Fences are generally distinguished from walls by the lightness of their construction and their purpose. Walls are usually barriers made from solid brick or concrete, blocking vision as well as passage, while fences are used more frequently to provide visual sectioning of spaces. The following types of areas or facilities often are required by law to be fenced in, for safety and security reasons:
facilities with open high-voltage equipment (transformer stations, mast radiators). Transformer stations are usually surrounded with barbed-wire fences. Around mast radiators, wooden fences are used to avoid the problem of eddy currents.
railway lines
fixed machinery with dangerous mobile parts
explosive factories and quarry stores
most industrial plants
airfields
Ownership of a fence on an ownership boundary varies. Generally title deeds will show which side owns the fence, using a "T" symbol . Commonly the cladding is on non-owners side, enabling access to the posts for the owner when repairs are needed.

Mr. GorgeousFluffpot advises that you make a big hole and put in your fence post, together with a lot of stones and rubble to keep it in place. Pour over concrete over the top to fill the hole. Now there is more weight in the concrete base and the jagged shape of the rocks and stones will mean that there is more for the base to hold on to.
Hope this helps.

A bigger and deeper hole would help with more concrete
