Hello, I am brand new here but saw a lot of good info so thought I would join the community.
I am starting a small landscaping company and am wondering what would be a good post setting method for residential fences that will last. One option I am looking at is galvanized steel that could be reused after the fence has rotted away. I really would like to know a good wood post setting method I can offer my customers that is cost effective and will last as long as possible. Wondering if anyone can comment on wood types and treatments, post depth, backfill, concrete vs pounded vs backfilled after augering and setting by hand, treating the ends, flaming etc. Everything. One repeatable method that is better than let's say pressure treated post with gravel, encased in concrete, you know, the usual. Is there something I can offer as a demonstrably better method than what people would typically install?
I have some knowledge of wood and have researched lightly into charring. Wondering what Jay c white cloud would have to say as I've read a lot of his posts on a few threads and he seems super knowledgeable.
Thanks a lot guys.
