[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 144663, member: 1900"] My dad told us to try this with our posts - We use roofing tar on the tops, cut at angles, but we also put the tar on the part that goes into the hole and up at least 2" from that. The ground level is where posts rot first, so we're hoping the roofing tar 2" above ground level will waterproof it there. It is cheap enough, but it takes time to put it on when you are trying to build a fence. But, we don't do this for our cedar posts or cresoted posts - just the treated lumber. I'll let you know in 20 years if it works. ;-) [/QUOTE]
