I'm still using a pole barn I built in 1970 and the poles are fine. But they are CCA. I also just used some treated poles that were put in the ground in 1937. Power company just pulled them out and I'm making a bridge with them. Still sound. 75 years in the ground and still fine!

Here are some poles I'm using right now from 1937 and 1994
