That seems odd. Are there different types of pressure treated wood?

Sure. Some PT is rated for above ground, some for ground contact, some
for direct burial. It depends on the amount of goop injected...more
goop = more restance + higher price. The wood should be stamped or have
a tag telling the percentage. The normal Home Depot type is as low a
percentage as it gets.


That would explain it. We bought ours from a lumber yard and told them
that the bottom row of 6x6's would be partially imbedded in soil. They
obviously put us onto the right product.
