Iron fence was commonly installed with long extensions bolted onto the posts (about every 10 feet or so) with a spade-like plate on the ends, the plate turned to be parallel with the fence line, to stabilize the heavy fence from leaning. While helping my nieghbor pull some of his, we found them to be burried about two feet down. If you can find someone who does powder coating, usually someone who builds custom iron and steel fencing, and they have an oven large enough for the sections, have them blast and powder coat the sections, and you'll never have to paint them again. Powder coat is very tough, hard to chip, even with a hammer, and comes in a ariety of colors. Will cost a bit but worth it, I think, if you're going to be there for years. If you don't have the long posts with the plates, the same shop can make those, also.
