I have a Morton building that was built in the late 1960s with 6x6 post. They are still good.

I have a Clary building that was built in 1978 and every post rotted off at the ground level by the mid 1990s. I jacked it up and poured a concrete footer and bolted "L" shaped brackets to the post and the footer.

I have another Morton building that just was built in 2002 They are the laminated post and they are still good too.

I have several other sheds/lean to that we have built yourselves over the years and the post form a local builder are all good. The post from Menard's are all rotting. Local guy keeps the better post.

I started several years ago to dumping a five gallon bucket of half old oil and half diesel fuel around the base of the posts each year. I think it is helping but only time will tell.
