What is the best fencing method nowadays? Six foot height. I suppose concrete posts and concrete gravel boards? Is there anything that lasts a fair time? Plastic panels? Cost per yard? Suggestions gratefully received.
FWIW: I have a friend who installed "hit and miss" fencing, which is very sturdy -- I like it a lot because of the wind resistance (or non-resistance!). However it's expensive, and I couldn't tell you if it'll last longer than conventional fencing.

Metposts (or similar). Easy to install, easy to replace. Seems to last well (my 70' long, 5' fence is still OK - put up around 1983).
Same with mine, but I don't think you can buy metaposts of the same quality nowadays. Now, I would use reinforced concrete posts into the ground. You can do this either by using concrete spur posts with timber posts bolted to them above ground (my preference) or entirely concrete posts.

Locally I can buy dipped galvanised metposts in heavy gauge steel, Not that expensive.
+1. Would be my preference too
