Old, You said you use metal pipe for posts.Got me thinking.I just happen to have about 40 10' sections of 4" well casing in my "too good to throw away" pile.Now I'm thinking maybe use the couplings that are on them,or just butt weld on enough to get the sections to 15 feet or so,so I can get 3 feet in the ground.How'd you attach the wood? Seems easiest to just bolt them right thru-don't suspect it would weaken them enough to matter.Or could weld on mounting plates,but it'd be an awful lot of them.Any particulars would be appreciated.May still go with PT lumber for posts,but you got me thinking.....Dave

Down here where termites and rot from 60" of rain a year are king I have learned to use metal post on any thing I can. From this picture you can see that this post has been doing its job for many a year and this is on a weathered exposed lean to post.
You can drill (very slow) or you can cut holes with a torch. I used carriage bolts so the head would dig in wood and not turn, but regular bolts and washers would work.

Maybe I am, but that's not my name. Anyway I helped my neighbor build a garage. He use pipe casing. We just punched holes in the pipe with a torch and ran bolts through the pipe and framing. Screwed the siding to the framing. It turned out pretty good. Some of the holes turned out a little big, (we weren't the best hands when it came to using a torch). We would just use washers on the bolts.
