Hi.

Does anyone know if the new treated lumber 4x4 posts can be encased in concrete? I am going to have a new side porch built and I don't know whether it would be best to have it free standing or to drive 4x4 treated posts into the ground . If I put the posts in the ground , will the new chemicals used to treat the posts affect the concrete in any way if posts are encased in concrete?

Thanks,

Bob
