Properly treated poles will last longer that you. Just keep in mind that most "treated" 6" X 6" poles for sale locally probably will NOT be properly treated.
Look close before you buy. Since the new ACQ chemicals became the norm, instead of the prior CCA, treatment is more costly, and therefore, got cut way back. I've bought poles recently in New York and in northern Michigan. At all the lumberyards, any 6X6 "treated poles 10 foot or shorter, were not treated for burial. Most poles over 10 foot were. So, if you needed let's say, four 10 footers, you'd need to buy two 20 footers and cut them in half to get poles worth using. If you bought four 10 footers, they'd be no good. Just read the treatment label and do NOT take the counter persons word for anything.
On a side-note, I checked treated poles at Home Depot and NONE were treated for burial. All the 6x6s were for "above ground" or "ground contact" only.
