Wooden Fence Post Preventative Treatment?
 
Hello,

I'm rebuilding a wooden fence with posts sunk in concrete. Several of
them have a little surface decay at the base but are still quite
sturdy, so I'd like to reuse them. I'm wondering what I can do now to
lengthen the life of these posts. Is there any kind of penetrating
epoxy-type filler that would actually add to the strength of the post?
At the very least, I'll apply some Copper Green to prevent (delay)
further decay.

Thanks, Wayne
