[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4114817, member: 5412"] Coat the post below ground with roofing tar as well as about 2" above ground, paying special attention to the end grain that will suck water up into post. We did this when building a deck over 30 years ago that I tore down this spring. The 4X4 posts in the ground looked brand new after breaking away the concrete while those above the ground were at the end of pressure treated wood life span. Why did I break away the concrete? Because I had rented a track hoe with a concrete breaker to bust up the concrete around the pool that was also removed. It made disposal easier. [/QUOTE]
