In my opinion, you'd have to have a screw loose in your head to invest in a pole barn and use poles with only a .23 pcf treatment. No wonder why so many complain about poles rotting.

UC4C — Wood and wood based materials used in contact with the ground either in very severe environments or climates demonstrated to have extremely high potential for deterioration, and in critical structural components
