Back in 1981 I had a Morton (brand) building erected. The posts that went into the ground were creosoted as I recall and each post consisted of 3ea 2x10s secured together and once installed, stuck out of the ground at like 1', 2' and 3'. The rest of the vertical support was untreated and attached to these posts, the varying lengths helping to reinforce the joint and only having the ground portion of the structure treated, reduced costs.
