If your ground freezes in the winter and thaws in the summer, no amount of concrete will prevent the post from either sinking down or heaving up out of the ground. Concrete will not bond to vinyl. Vinyl material will expand and contract depending on the temperature. I work for a fence company in northern Indiana. We recommend all of our dealers drill a 3/8" hole 6" from the bottom of the post and use an 8" piece of re-rod thru the bottom of the post before setting in concrete. The concrete will bond w/ the re-rod, thus preventing the post from sinking or heaving.
