Fence post idea??

Posted by dave2 on April 28, 2012 at 03:28:50 from (139.139.35.70):

Hey,

Got this brainstorm and don't know whether to kill it or try it...

Got the OK to put up a more permanent fence at a couple of our places..

Only small areas so not a lot of posts.

Ground water is high in winter and the ground stays moist all year.

Just use a normal post, paint it with tar, and tamp it with peagravel?

My brainstorm is 6" PVC set like a post, cenented in, and filled with concrete (and hope I get my hooks etc in the right spot the first time :roll: )...... As I type this, thinking it'll be a whole lot less trouble just replacing a rotten post or two if ever needed....

So, if I use wood, locust is like hens teeth... Choices local are sawmill oak, larch, and some pines. Cut and skinned pine from the woods (maybe oak?)... and store bought pressure treated in either 4x4's or round posts...

what should I use???

Can find locust and cedar now and then but not often......

Thanks, Dave
