I just had 250 linear feet of wood fence installed a year ago. The fence

Pour a tad of diesel fuel around base of the posts, and brush a little

Telephone poles have creosote for a reason

creosote is no longer used, its illegal

Does anyone know what telephone poles use NOW?

************************************************** ********

I believe the guys installing the pole down the street from me a month ago
said the used creosote.


I should add, that the bottom of the pole where the creosote was was wrapped in
heavy green plastic, to cut down on transfers to the soil, and I assume, to the
workers.
