Yep, I can tell you exactly. I'm a retired building inspector. The ordinary posts in stock at lumber yards, and for sure ordinary 4x4, are rated to last only a vey short time. These posts are meant for your residential decks, fence posts, planters, etc. They are not NOT rated for building structral ratings, called "Structure Critical." The building codes and the lumber manufacturer's require these amounts of chemical [ depending on which chemical it is ] to be suitable for structure critical ratings;
“NatureWood” Alkaline Copper Quaternary ACQ Minimum 0.60 pcf ACQ for Structural / Building Pole / Foundation Use
“Micro-Pro / Smart-Sense” Micronized Copper Quaternary MCQ Minimum 0.60 pcf MCQ for Structural / Building Pole / Foundation Use
“Micro-Pro / Life-Wood” Micronized Copper (tebuconazole) Azole MCA Minimum 0.23 pcf MCA for Structural / Building Pole / Foundation Use
Ordinary lumber yard poles may not have enough chemicals. Those poles might only be approved by the manufacturers for decks or fence posts, not for permanent structural building foundations.
Even though you may see a label reading "Ground Contact", unless you see this amount of chemical, you are not getting the right post.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
