[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2149"] Wood preservative will work for a while if it is pressure impregnated. If you could soak the posts long enough to get good penetration. Hardly worth the effort. Soft wood won't last long. Allot of those stringers are cut out of Hemlock and they will rot off about as fast as you can dig the hole to put them in. I would find something to do with them, but I wouldn't stick them in the ground. If I could give you a little advise from an old wire stretcher. Build your fence with the best material out their, and do an overkill job. If you go cheap, it will be the most expensive fence you ever built. Good luck! > Rod > Howdy all, What can i use, or, how > can I treat some 4x6's so i can > use them for fence posts.
