[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3390344, member: 15054"] I get tired or replacing quite new pressure treated posts on fences. All junk if you want to keep it for a long time. I have had ants and termites nest in the pressure treated and cedar wood. They may not eat the stuff but they nest in it. Only thing I found that keeps ants off wood is used Transmission fluid. Used oil works also but does not seem to last as long. Concrete it. I have set pressure treated posts with gravel in the bottom of the hole and poured concrete to set the post. They will rot at the base where dirt touches the post. Keep dirt off the post and it will last longer. [/QUOTE]
