I want to box in treated posts with our own lumber. These posts support a deck off a second-story room, so the untreated lumber would never touch the ground. The boxed-in posts would be primed, painted.
Would yellow poplar last a while under these circumstances?? Southern yellow pine?
What species of lumber did the old-timers use on porches and fences before pressure-treated lumber?
