Yes, it is possible to put hardwood fence posts in concrete as a way to extend their lifespan and to prevent rotting. For this reason, hardwood species such as the Spotted Gum, are known for their durability and resistance to decay and are commonly used in the South East Queensland area.
While concrete can help prevent rotting, wooden posts in Brisbane can still rot if not properly treated or if there is high exposure to moisture. To ensure the longevity of the posts, it's important to use treated wood and proper drainage around the concrete base.
The lifespan of hardwood posts in South East Queensland depends on several factors, including the type of wood, proper treatment, and environmental exposure. On average, well-maintained hardwood posts can last for many years. The Spotted Gum in particular is a durable and decay-resistant option which is commonly used in the area.
