New Treatment Extends Life of Fence Posts in Iowa
Iowa State College extension forester Richard B. Campbell promotes pentachlorophenol as a posts preservative that doubles or triples the life of fence posts. Red and black oak elm and hickory posts last 15 to 25 years, compared with 3 to 7 years untreated. About half of the 17 million posts yearly are untreated. The cold soak method requires no heating. 48 hours soaking suffices before use. Equipment is simple and inexpensive.
