Sealing wooden fence posts

runamuk · Jul 19, 2019

Pulled all the rotten fence posts around my place and just planted new ones, don't want to do that again for a long while.
Thinking about graphite and linseed oil to protect the posts from water rot but I'm damn sure open to suggestions if anybody has some experience with this.
This would be for above ground application.

?Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. "

A friend of mine had railroad ties along his driveway. He swore by a coat of used motor oil every year.

Hey LH!

You Can't Dump Used Motor Oil on the Ground!

I know so many people in so many places
They make allot of money but they got sad faces

feddoc, That looks like the stuff that the bottom 3' of my post are treated with but damn! $267 a gallon? think I better pass on that stuff.
Think I'm going to have a closer look at that Borate though.

Thanks for the replies.
