Has anyone tried creosote? That's what railroad ties are
treated with and they seem to last forever.

>I've mixed 1/2 used motor oil and 1/2 diesel fuel. Mixes well and will 
spray with a garden sprayer. Very easy to apply. It will be slick when 
wet so you need to be careful. My lumber was lumber yard 2x10's so if 
you have rough cut it may not be as bad.
