With so many green squirrels around I doubt if you can buy creosote. It has been labeled a carcinogen. I saw something on net about it being banned to the general public in 2003. Since you probably can't get it I would probably use pressure treated pine to begin with and use a homemade creosote treatment on it. There are many different homemade brews on the internet but to steal a homemade brew that looks good to me is this. "I make up 15 gallons at a time. I have a Vat for dipping posts in, made from an old tank cut in two,8 feet long. Works great. Here’s my recipe. 5 gallons of coal tar roofing or driveway sealer, 5 gallons of Diesel Fuel 5 gallons of used diesel oil,2 lbs of feed salt Stir well with an old shovel. You can simply dip about 2 feet of your post in a bucket of this formula, or dip the entire post in the vat.Soak for a couple hours.
