Service life of treated and untreated fence posts : 1996 post farm report

Creator:: Morrell, Jeffrey J., Miller, Donald James, Schneider, Philip F., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Untreated and preservative-treated fence posts were exposed in soil at a test site near Corvallis, OR. Several species, including western juniper and Osage-orange, showed exceptional natural durability. Preservative treatment generally extended the useful life of the posts, but the degree of protection varied with the chemical and the application method.
