My cedar post and rail fence lasted about 25 years before rot made it necessary to replace. No concrete, but stone for drainage. The sections that go into the woods are just 5' metal stakes driven into the ground and wire mesh attached. Plastic coated, still in good shape. Posts that hold heavy gates need extyra depth and or larger stone. Otherwise the weight of the gate will move the post over time and you'll have to reset. I had the work done by a local fencing company. I have one gate that follows a slope, so they custom built the gate to match. Way beyond the ability of a one man crew.
