Lots of various discussions about proper treatment for poles. Here's the way to figure it out, since there are about a dozen or more different chemicals (CX-A, CCA, MCA, SBX, ACQ-B, etc., etc. ) 1. Get the little end label off the pole and look and find the ESR number. For example, local lumber yard here stocks treated posts that comply with ESR-2240, which is the report, the third-party approval document that the manufacturer has performed. 2. Google or BING web search, in this case, the number "ESR-2240". 3. Scroll down a bit in ESR-2240, and you'll find Table 1; Above Ground 0.06 pcf Ground Contact - General 0.15 pcf Ground Contact - Critical Structural 0.23 pcf
Look in Table 2, and you'll see that General is for fence posts, decks, items that will be replaced avery few years. Critical Structural is for permanent building poles.
So there it is. Don't necessarily believe what the yard salesman says "Yeah it's rated Ground Contact." You WANT Critical Structural.
