Re: protecting 4x4 fence posts set in concrete
|
Text of the message: |
Pressure treated wood only has the treatment on the surface. If you cut the end the cut is untreated. If you set a post in concrete and leave the bottom of the post in contact with earth, it will not last as long as if you put come concrete in first to cap the bottom of the hole. Traditionally creosote is used but probably any wood treatment meant to prevent rot and or water penetration should prolong the life. Elastomeric paint will not penetrate the wood but instead tries to form a plastic film around the wood. Seems to me this might cause a situation where water can be trapped in the wood which is not necessarily bad if no oxygen can get in to let the bacteria breath.
