By drying our posts to a low moisture content, maximum treating penetration (all the way into the heartwood) will occur. After treating, a new process is used whereby the posts undergo an accelerated fixation in a conditioning chamber to ensure that they are environmentally friendly (no leaching of the chemicals). These posts when properly treated will then last in excess of 30 years.
