[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3981348, member: 35036"] So I’m looking around at getting my fence replaced, it’s in pretty sad shape. Don’t have a lot of money to throw at it though. Gonna DIY it. My posts are steel in concrete and in great shape still. Comparing prices between treated and untreated pine, I’m looking at $7.50/linear foot for untreated, vs $9.75/linear foot for pressure treated. Considering that I already don’t have the cash laying around for the fence as it is, it looks like untreated is gonna be the way to go. Which means I should probably seal it. Going with Thompson’s water seal will add another $.80-1.20 per linear foot. I know very little about pine fence. We only need it to look good for 2-4 years, after that I don’t care. Should I seal? With my specified time frame, will untreated suffice? Or will I be kicking myself in a few years? [/QUOTE]
