New Deck – all that is found is UC4A posts …
Northern Virginia …
The TW, HD, Lowes do not stock the UC4B 6×6.
It is a special order (unit quantity, and #1) from MadisonWood
but a retailer has to order.
Plan A was UC4B posts buried on footers for 32×10′, with
a 14×20 screened in end. Goal being, no need for replace/repair
for 30 years.
Plan B? Concrete piers a bit above ground level w/ties, and UC4A
Plan C? UC4A with a postwrap, buried?
Kills me to spend a LOT of $$ on something that is not
permanent.
Appreciate the comments.

You might try some smaller lumberyards that cater to agricultural interests.
Groves Hardware for example.
I wanted to understand your post so I looked up your treatment code. Found this to be interesting.
