i like some of their products but they don't have spec sheets or model information, no information for engineering. they want pictures of the potential installation site just to give quotes?

Why use fence posts when you can just use trees?

Fenceposts have always baffled me. Why would anyone take a perfectly good tree, cut it down, dig a hole to set it in, and then spend the next 20 years watching it decay? In my early days of agroforestry work in the tropics, it was assumed that all fenceposts should be living as a hedge against termites and decay.

i don't want to hurt the trees! like, poison them with nails or something. Plus if the tree grows around the nail, it makes a point that will cause kickback and can hurt people when it's cut down or sawmilled.
