PSA: A job near the coast in Galveston showed me why you need to check soil type before setting posts.

We hit a layer of pure sand 18 inches down that washed out after the first big rain, and three sections leaned over. What's your go-to method for sandy ground?

Actually, the soil type matters less than proper compaction and concrete.

Pure sand only 18 inches down?

Nah it's usually more like 4-6 feet down around here.
