My existing posts are red cedar (pretty sure!). And I think they are original from when the dock was installed, so they very likely lasted about 15 years. I'd be happy to spend $70/post if I could get that again. And I've read and seen how the newer, more environmentally friendly PT can rot way faster.

About how long do people see their PT dock posts last?
