What size metal posts for Wood Privacy Fence

[brians]

Just looking for some advice on what size metal posts I should use for a 6' high wooden privacy fence? Also, how heavy do posts need to be? Do I need a schedule 40 or SS40 or would standard size like you would find at Lowes/HD work?

Also, any ballpark number on how much the Simpson Ties cost?

Thanks.

Either the 1-7/8" or 2-3/8" posts that you find in the chain link fence section of your big box store will work fine. Those are what the Simpson PGT's are sized to.

The PGT's are about $1.50 each.
