Haha good idea ! Would be able to get a bit of welding practice in then
Been busy with work
Broke out an old post by sds at one side
My question is can I slot replacement post in and fill just the rear with fresh concrete or does that tend to affect the strength ie should I remove concrete around all 4 corners and fill fresh?

Wooden post I assume?
Its likely to be an extremely tight fit so that shouldnt matter too much. However when I replaced a friends wooden posts, I concreted met spikes into the post hole so that the timber is above ground level and shouldnt rot, and easy to replace.

For the slope, use 6" gravel boards. Any timber at ground level will rot. They are generally much cheaper than 12" and on a steep gradient you can cut them to save digging. Where its steepest I have 18" of board. As they have tapered edge top and bottom, turn them around and they fit nicely.
Looks good actually concrete and yeh good point I will prob at very least need to bore around iy enough for post to slot in rather than wood where I usually hammer or place it a bitWooden post I assume?
