Default Re: Is setting fenceposts in concrete necessary in sandy soil?

I would not use concrete for wooden posts, even treated pine which is weak because its a soft wood and will rot despite hearing the contrary. The concrete draws water to the post, and eventually weakens it till it breaks. I have seen this many times, which is why I won't use treated pine. Its junk wood. The cheap fence posts to get that will last for years is cypress. I am the "do it right the first time" type of guy, rather than save temporarily, then forced to redo years later at a higher cost.
