[QUOTE="tepapa, post: 8654365, member: 14120"] Your options are going to be natural timber, oak, red larch or robinia if you can get a supplier over with you. Or a variation of the copper based tanalith treatment. The 4-5yr posts are just poorly treated with tanalith. They do have potential to last upto maybe 10-12yrs if it's decent timber, pine not spruce, and treated properly and in the right ground. McVeigh parker are importing Dura post into UK which is same chemical but dried properly and double treated. Should last longer than most but nowhere near creo. The new "saviour" for ag timber is oil based copper treatment. Production is not up to speed yet, it'll be dearer then creo and in my opinion will last just as long as the current tanalised posts do. You've got incised posts which yet again use the same copper chemical but are incised to get at least 6mm penetration, which is the minimum requirement for the British standard. I'm not sure how that worked before they began incising, they obviously didn't meet the standard. So basically they're all based on the same chemical that's proven to last maybe 5years. Or there's metal. 👍🏾 [/QUOTE]
