The simple answer is oak! Many closeboard and open pale fences as erected in schools and by councils in the 70's are still standing! Yes it's expensive so as a 2nd choice use tanalised (Tanalith) treated softwood. Lots of info on google about the treatment process. I swear by 100mm x 100mm treated fence posts.. I've never had one rot since I started as a fencer in 83!!
