How do you go about cutting a steel post? I'm no expert on fence building but I found it impossible to dig the holes and place the posts so there were exactly the same height and level. Instead I left a few inches, then used a laser level to mark them, and cut them, giving me perfectly straight and level tops.
I also stained the posts dark brown to go with my white panels (consisting of plywood and a frame I didn't use fence boards) something I can't do with a steel post. It's a great option though if you want them to last, it will take forever for them to degrade to the point where you will care.
