anybody here know how long some good red cedar posts will last? ive come across alot of good slow growing trees they are almost all red in the center very little sapwood and diameter andwhere from 3 inches to a foot
Yes they will last longer than store bought and all you will have in them is labor.yea i cut them deep in the woods. alright sounds like thell last longer than store bought posts then! that makes me and my wallet happy!!
Why are they poor choice for high tensile?You never know how long the post will last. Some last forever and some do not. For a HT fence they are a poor choice. For soft wire woven and barbed wire they will do.

The get loose and the wire sagsYes ... Please elaborate
I'm still confused. How do cedar posts let the wire get loose worse then other kinds?The get loose and the wire sags
Yes. And just because the red is there does not mean that they will not rot. Likely due to high rainfall and clay soils. Some make 40 years and some make 6.Maybe as the white wood rots away, in his experience, the post becomes loose in the ground.
