Default Using old Barn timber outside? How to treat?

I have a friend that is dropping an old barn with some really nice heavy
timber. I want to use the heavy timber as the corner posts etc. for a large
deck I'm building. I know it's overkill but I'm doing it for the look not
the strength. The only question I have right now is what is the best way to
treat the lumber so that it will not rot out? IDEAS?
