Compost Bins Q&amp;A

Would it be possible to get 6' corner posts instead of the 4' posts as advertised on the website. I see on previous comments that the length was reduced to allow ease of construction and necessity but I'd rather fix them into the ground for rigidity.

The instructions delivered with the wood differs a bit from the ones on the web page. Which ones should I follow?

Question 3

In the kit list it states the posts are 4ft but the compost bins are 4ft which suggests they will not be long enough to go into the ground. Should they not be 6ft? If so this means you would also have to level the ground where the bins are to be located....
