Rod said "I called home depot and they don't have noting for treating wood they said."

I called Home Depot and asked if they had orange construction fence.  "Nope, don't have it.  Never heard of it." I went in for someting else next day and found about 30 rolls. ::) ::)

Well I took the good advice and looked into geting a private applicators license, and found out it costs 15 buck........I take the test next thursday in Springfield. I can then purchase and use on my farm ANY RESTRICTE USE pesticide, including creosote, penta , CCA , AND any of the good pesticides..I feel good , because now, I found out the rights I thought I had lost.....they are STILL there I just have to pay for them.

Hey Buzz,
Check out this site:
http://www.cedar-vadek.co.za/catalog/index.php?cPath=30&osCsid=d590b2bc5ef03cd3cfe7d0599cae825f

They have Creasote listed as being available.

Also you might check on Carbolinium.  Its on the same site.

My dad uses it for fence posts and fence boards.  Most of the first posts he put in the ground 20 years ago are fine.  Out of over 300 posts he has about 10-15 that have rotted.

The private applicators license I found has more to do with safety than anything else and disposal .

Looks lke from the test Creosote worked the best on any kind of wood.I guess that must be the reason they still use Creosote on RR ties.

hey also said

The pressure-treated test posts were produced commercially. Commercialtreatments offer the widest selection of preservatives and can result in a product having excellent durability. Modern preservatives used by commercial plantsare now more effective than some early formulations that leached more easilyfrom treated wood. Use of less effective zinc meta-arsenite and chromatedzinc chloride (series 33, 43) has been discontinued. Average life of most seriesof pressure-treated posts in the tests should exceed 40 yr. Square-sawed postsof western hemlock treated with aqueous solutions of Chemonite or Tanalithare expected to last longer than similar posts of Douglas-fir. Some series of creosoted posts (series 7, 23) have lasted for 67 yr without failure., ORPermit No. 200
