Will the posts rot?

It is common to have concerns about the life of your posts embedded in the ground!
 
"Will the posts rot?" - The posts are treated with CCA to protect against rot, fungal decay and termites. Exterior Wood provides a "Limited Lifetime Warranty" to the original owner and will replace (labor not included) any properly installed post that fails due to rot, fungal decay or termites.
"How long will the posts last?" - When used as recommended, CCA-treated wood provides decades of service. The Pole-Barn owner can expect the posts to meet or exceed the lifetime expectancy of the structure.
"Is it bad if the posts are in-cased in concrete?" - When setting your posts in concrete we recommend that the bottom of the post hole have a generous base of gravel. Set the post on top of the gravel before adding concrete. This will allow proper drainage so that water from the surface can seep through rather than pooling at the top of the concrete surrounding the post.
"Is there a time guarantee on the posts?" - Exterior Wood, Inc. offers a "Limited Lifetime Warranty" against rot, fungal decay and termites to the original owner of the wood. CCA treated wood has a 70 year proven track record. When used as recommended and properly installed the owner can expect the wood to last as long as the lifetime expectancy of the structure.

The above information was provide by Exterior Wood Inc. For more information on the treatment process, refer to http://www.exteriorwood.com/index2.htm For more questions about pole barn post installation contact Econ-O-Fab Buildings; www.econofabbuildings.com
