Saw off the tops at an angle.This helps in keeping water off the tops. 3. Armed with protective rubber gloves,goggles (don't put on tribal goggles please  ), paint the lower 1/3 of the post and the angled top.Three coatings at intervals of about 2 hours will do. 4.On day two, coat the entire post with used oil and leave to dry. 5.You may spray the post holes with a pesticide on the day of propping.I would suggest you kuse Gladiator.One litre will take you very far and i doubt it costs more than 3K a litre.k 6. DO NOT USE CONCRETE TO prop your POSTS!!!..Concrete retains water and sure,your posts will rot faster than where ordinary soil is used. Besides saving, you'll agree this is a better way of spending your week-end than going to the par to kossip!! Wow wow, @njunge and the rest thank you much. So informative...I plan a DIY, Will do it next . I suppose the posts should be dry before the processweek Indeed the conrete rottens faster.One fence i did while demolishing, the part covered by conrete had rotten and was cut off. Everybody STEALS, a THIEF is one who's CAUGHT stealing something of LITTLE VALUE. !!!
