hi, im not sure if i am on the correct board. I am getting bids on installing a chain link fence and some of the contractors are saying its necessary to pour concrete before setting the posts but others are saying it is a bad idea. I live in Minnesota where the ground freezes and my backyard does have a slight slope. Any suggestions?

The corner posts and gate posts are the only ones you might need to set in concrete. Both of these posts have stresses on them that line posts do not.
