[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3429028, member: 5412"] If you find a new lake with trees all over it, after a few years the trees all break off right at the normal water level because the trees above the water are getting much more oxygen that causes them to rot at that level. What I didn't mention is that I coated the posts in my 30 year old deck below ground with roofing tar so they wouldn't absorb water if the concrete cracked below the soil surface. Especially the end grain. Buddy in the privacy fence business also told me about this trick. He offers it to his customers as an add on. Most don't take it. He is happy knowing he will be back in a few years to replace the posts. [/QUOTE]
