I live in termite and wood rot heaven. Normal PT wood like you buy at the lumber yard rots away in a few years. My house sits on cinder blocks and all have termite shields to keep the termites out.
My pump house is not even 10 years old and made entirely of lumber yard PT above ground wood treated to .25cca. It is built like a stick frame house on a small slab. The bottom 2 to 3 inches is rotting away already.
If you put a fence post in the ground you better put a metal rain cap on the top or the post will rot from the top down from rain hitting it.
About 35 years ago I put in a 6x6 post for a mobile home electric post. I ordered a 2.50cca post made to be used as a dock post in salt water. Its looks as good today as the day I picked it up from the lumber yard.

Harder to find as lumber yards do not stock it; and cost more but well worth it on things you want to last. When I get around to building me a new pole shed it will have galvanized 2 inch metal post in concrete.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
