[QUOTE="Overby, post: 8867560, member: 111610"] Current dilemma is the posts supplied by the local merchant, which all round here use, have trebled in price in the last few years to £8, incl vat, and, from personal experience, have a lifespan of 4 - 5 years in many cases. Cheap, rubbish imports.........but they conform to the required standard. We're getting a local sawmill to chop ours, conforming to the RPA requirements : "Use softwood timber that is fully peeled, coated with wood preservative and pressure treated, or treated with an HSE approved industrial wood preservative, to comply with Use Class 4 as defined in BS8417:2014 ‘Preservation of Wood - Code of Practice’. You can also use untreated durable timber as set out in the Forestry Commission guide to forest fencing." A mix of pine and larch, both classed as 15 year durable softwoods. [/QUOTE]
