[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2152"] If the lumber is CCA treated you need at least .40 for any type of burial. The .20 is fine for weather exposure but will not hold up when in the ground. Regular juniper cedar is the most common type of wood post, around here anyway, because it’s stronger/cheaper/longer lasting. Bodark (Osage-Orange) is the best, and will last for decades. But any wood post will burn in a grass fire and they will all eventually rot. There’s nothing like iron. I would patch and rig until you can get the money up to do it right. Don’t forget to see if your neighbors will go in with you on outside fences they share with you. Craig [/QUOTE]
