o.uk...
It occurs to me that any wooden post concreted into a hole in the ground
is going to rot eventually, tanalised or whatever - it's got to be a
matter of time.

Any thoughts?


I've extended the effective life of timber fence posts by reinforcing them
with angled brace posts, obviously taking space on my side of the fence.
This made the post much more resistant to wind forces and has probably
slowed the break-up of the fence panels.


But don't the braces rot at the same rate as the posts?
