No idea on price - and no stockist near me.


OK until water gets in (which it will) and the post is permanently damp

The only satisfactory long-term protection process for timber is
complete fungal treatment.
Telegraph poles, for instance, are supposed to last at least 20 years
- quite a few have lasted much longer than this. Although numerous
treatment processes have been tried over the decades, the best (and
probably the cheapest) has always been proper creosote, not just
brushed on to the poles, but pressure/vacuum 'applied', hot, so that
it gets right into the cellular core of the pole.


Telegraph poles also have multiple longitudinal saw cuts

I don't think so!
