[QUOTE="MichaelLaBelle, post: 912523, member: 18353"] One thing to consider when "treating" wood anything. A commercial treatment plant takes kiln dried wood (posts, boards), puts it into a tank filled with a treating solution, and brings the entire content of the tank up to a predetermined pressure. The solution is forced into the wood and the pressure drops. The whole process is repeated until the pressure holds for a predetermined amount of time, thus indicating that the wood is saturated. The only thing that would be the equivalent for a non-commercial operation is to allow the treatment solution to wick up the bottom of the post, thereby saturating at least the part that is in contact with the ground. There is no good way to completely saturate a board unless you allow it to soak long enough to "water log" it with your treatment solution. Michael in Alabama [/QUOTE]
