What are folks experiences with using cedar or locust (or other) posts for fencing versus pressure treated in terms of longevity? If the fence is rated for 25 years and the posts decay in 15, how would you go about replacing them?
I’ve heard the newer pressure treated posts do not use CCA. Is anyone familiar with what they do now commonly use and it’s environmental effects?
Is the decay usually at the soil line or below? Or from water above? Has anyone seen the little ‘hats’ some people use attached to the top of the post to shed water, and know where to find them?
thanks
