Hey guys Im new to the forum and need a question answered after nobody at HD could answer it. I am installing a vinyl privacy fence. Post/panel setup. Posts are 105" and need to be roughly 6' out of the ground. Frost line around here is almost 40". Do I dig the hole >40", fill with pea gravel to get the desired post height and then concrete it in place? I hope I am making sense. Obviously cant pour concrete below the frost line and then suspend the post while it dries....
Thanks

Pea grave is the way to go. Then cement at least 30”. That should do the trick.
