It is crucial to pick the right type of the corner posts, as no matter whether your pasture or paddock is set up only temporarily, the posts which are situated in a very corner have to be very strong and set up in a way as if they were to stand there permanently. As they have to withstand enormous pressure it is recommended to dig them in at least 50 cm (1.6ft) to 120 cm (4ft) deep into the ground. The most popular material for corner posts is wood, and runner-ups to this material are steel and metal.
