The biggest issue would be the base of the posts would start to  rot away (and eventually snap) ,  also  my advice is try to stay away  from slated fences they tend to be quite flimsy to start with (it's just their nature) it is understandable that the cost of a fence made out of thick timber  would skyrocket compared to a  slated  one .. but the quality of it is also exponentially increased .
