We need to replace our redwood fences. One neighbor claims that untreated
redwood is more rot reistant than treated wood.

Can anyone tell me what fence post is more resistant to rot and insects:
pressure treated posts or untreated redwood?

Is the brown pressure treated wood better than the green treated wood?

Is there some website that you can direct me to that shows this information.

thanks in advance


Answers to some of your questions depend, in part, upon where the
fence posts are locate.

Are the in southern Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama, Florida?

Are the posts in Alaska? High desert country in the Great Basin?

All different sets of bugs, different precipitation and ground water issues,
different teperrature cycles and different freeze / thaw issues
regarding ground water.

Also, of course different soil types with different watrer retention issues.

All of these have a bearing on wood post longevity.

Can you tell us more about the climate, soil type and geographical
location?

Universaly, the plastic / ? PVC ? posts will hold up well, but it
doesn't sound
like that will fit in with your CC&Rs.

Thanks.
