Fence rail brackets - any good?

[PCarver]

I'm going to build a wood fence along a house. I was hesitating if I could do it myself, but after checking the prices at https://fencingspecialists.com.au/ I'm eager to try. I've never done this before, however, I like working with wood, so I think it won't be any problem. Also, I believe, that the idea with rail brackets is good, so I will follow your suggestions here guys. I wanted to ask about the holes - how far down to dig? And how much concrete to use for each post?

I didn't use rail brackets in the end. I went with a notch instead. It wasn't too hard.

As for holes, the rule of thumb is the post should be 1/3 below ground, 2/3 above ground. Eg: my fence is 1500mm high. So I bought 2400mm posts, sunk them 750mm into the ground.

I used about 4-5 bags of concrete per hole (it was suggested I should use 4, but for some reason it was usually closer to 5 for my holes).
