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!
I must admit that when CCA became hard to get -and ACQ or someother EPA substitute came out- it got harder to figure out. I DID find out fast how clueless many people in lumberyards are. I got in the habit of getting the phone numbers off the treatment tags and then calling the companies that sell the poles. Every time I did that - their info was different then what the year people were telling me.
The two lumber yards near me stock 6" X 6" poles up to 18 feet and none are treated well enough that I'd waste my time using them in ground. I have to special order what I want when I need it.
Here are some poles I'm using right now from 1937 and 1994
