My first post...
I need to add two 4 x 4 posts to a small goldfish pond dock that I'm building. It will be aproximately 3 feet wide by 5 feet long and attached to the pond on one end. The other end needs to posts going 3 feet to the pond bottom. I can't use PT lumber because of the fish but I don't mind using untreated lumber. Since these posts will be immersed in water for at least 6 months out of the year (northeast) how long do you think they would last.
I don't mind replacing them once a year but is there any grade that's better?
Or, anyone have a better idea on supporting the free end of the dock?
Thanks
Dick
