[QUOTE="egbert, post: 6343006, member: 9965"] Some of those countries have much tighter enviro rules than we do. I'm hearing German farmers can, if they go and do the buying themselves, travel outside the EU and buy CCA stakes, but the general rule is much tighter. no nasty chemical treatments. Naturally durable timber has become, and will increasingly become, valuable. The creosote stakes here are still in a legal limbo it seems. As commercial end users, we can still buy and use them, even though there are potential issues with the creosote just as much as the alleged problem with CCA. Funny no-one has come back suggesting yew as a post. There's not much of it down here, - tends to be discriminated against in livestock areas- but it makes extremely durable posts. (to be right on trend, I've gates in the yard hung off both yew and robinia) [/QUOTE]
