Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our products?  We will answer the most common ones here.

What are your posts treated with?

Our posts are treated with CCA to a .40 retention, which is the AWPA standard for fence posts.  CCA is the best chemical for farm use and can only be used to treat round, half round or quarter round fence posts. 

How long will a CCA treated fence post last?

CCA treated fence post should last 15-20 years on average.  CCA is a water borne chemical that allows wood to shrink and swell.  This process will cause the wood to degrade long before the chemical fails.

Why do you air dry your posts before treating?

We air dry our posts because we believe they get better chemical retention than a kiln dried post.  Kiln drying can ruin the cells in the wood that take in the chemical, resulting in a post that is not treated as well.
