Are they square? *Do you mean 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 posts?
4x6 posts have been available for as long as I can remember.
I can vouch for 15-20yrs ago availability. Needed a long one.
But today I go to the damn Blue Borg to get some regular 5/4 for
cornerboards (not decking). Nope. Don't stock. And I wanted to get some
10d galv finish. Nope. 8d then next is 16d. Not even a hole or label for
them. WTF?
He might mean creosote. *Paint the in-ground portion with creosote
(several coats) - let it dry in the sun between coats.
Creosote, and most tar related products, are now restricted use
pesticides. You have to be licensed to buy and use it.
