I would like to cut some lodgepole pine for fenceposts but it wouldn't last long enough to be worth the effort. Finding a good treatment is a trick these days thanks to the EPA. They have it backwards. You can treat 1 post for 50 years with creosote, or you can treat a bunch of 5 yr posts with something that won't last. You get 10x more of the latter in the soil.
