[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2533"] Another issue is the pH level of the soil. If you have acid soil, say around pH of 4.5 to 6.0, then I assume it is possible for the acid condition to gradually eat away at the steel...? Neutral soil pH is 7.0. The scale ranges from 0.0 to 14.0 with each 1.0 increase or decrease from 7.0 being on a logarithmic scale--i.e., a pH of 6.0 is 10X more acid than 7.0, etc., etc. Another wood post choice is Bois d'Arc posts, not usually straight, but very hard (may need short staples and hard hit to get into wood) and can last for decades.
