I priced the posts at Home Depot: ~ $25 each. But the web site says
"cost just a little more than wood". I can get treated 4" X 4" wooden
posts for $10.


It's marketing. They can say their product is way more expensive than
treated posts, or they can choose to compare themselves to Cedar and
Redwood and get by with saying "a little more".
