Treating Wood for Exterior Use
In this video I'll show you how to inexpensively treat wood to make it waterproof and bug proof.

We have posts that have been treated this way that have been in the ground for at least 100 years.
Posts that my grandfather put in and that my dad put in are still standing.

This will turn any wood it applied to BLACK and it will be PERMANENT.
If you want golden brown wood that is not stained black by the carbon in the used oil,
then use NEW motor oil. It will still protect the wood but will not stain it.
We use new motor oil for many projects that we don’t want black wood… watch my video on building PVC High Tunnel greenhouses to see the wood that we treated and how natural it looks.

This is a very responsible way of treating wood to keep it from prematurely rotting and a very good use of your used motor oil.
You are not treating the dirt or pouring oil into the dirt, the oil is soaked into the pole and just like creosote power and telephone poles, it does not leach into the soil.
