What to do with the poles.

No not the northern race. Not really 4WD or travel... but some of you characters might have an out there, out doorsy, alternative thinking answer.

My son and I are currenltly thinning out blue gum and pine plantations. It's called Non Commercial Thinning. Shockingly and sadly, beautiful straight posts and poles are currently lying on the ground to rot over the next few years.

Sure, I'll cut a lot of firewood, and use some for farm sheds and am trying to treat a few of the blue gum posts for fences.

Any good 'treating' ideas?

They are going to waste. Might even be a nice log cabin or three in them.

Another problem is time and effort. It's a very big job to cut them in the first place. The cut them into lengths, trim them and cart them is an even bigger job.

So .... thoughts?
