[QUOTE="tepapa, post: 6364246, member: 14120"] They banned the arsenic out of CCA which did the work. There is creosote which is still available to be used in industry but not domestic situations. There are also copies with very similar names like creocote. These are oil or water based and although sold as "creosote" definitely aren't. To be fair it's new type of treatment so no one really knows how well it works or for how long. But it won't be as good as creosote. If you buy proper creosoted posts these will last decades without a worry. If you have two competing suppliers and the price is 50/60p per post different I'd suspect one was selling the fake stuff. It also goes white after a year or so. Creosote fades but not to the same degree or as quick. [/QUOTE]
