Treating cheap woods with creosote for fence posts
Forest Service experiments show creosote treatment can extend cheap woods like cottonwood willow and sycamore to twenty years. An open tank costs 30 to 45 dollars and a 12 square foot tank treats 40 to 50 six inch posts daily. creosote costs vary by region and saves roughly 2 cents per post yearly with 6 percent interest, while preserving timber supplies and reducing cedar and oak demand. Circular 117 details methods and economics and is available from the Forester in Washington.
