Recent experience with tanalised wood cast doubt on its predicted life. We had to replace 35 year old field fence posts, some still in good condition, and were warned that the chemicals used then were no longer legal and the replacement posts might not last more than 5 - 10 years. Some lasted just 2 years so we are waiting with apprehension to see how the replacements from a different supplier last. He confirmed that today's treatment is not so effective.
