[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1448692, member: 26621"] Wood has advantages, as well. Rust is a real problem in our climate. Once the posts rust, the zinc on the wire sacrifices it's self to save the post instead of the wire. Good galvanized T posts are higher than good wood posts around here. I really like the idea of switching to pipe, but the rust part is my concern. I am working with a reputable treatment plant to get some .60 CCA posts.....With certified test results.....done up to keep in stock. That would be a 35 year post if it were in standing water it's whole life, and still considerably cheaper than a poorly treated creosote post. We are in a drought right now, which can make it rough going with wood posts. I have pitched pipe to all of my pizzed off customers that are in a hurry, and none of them will bite. Not even for the same price. :bang: [/QUOTE]
