    Being on the ground, none will last terribly long. I got some nice ones recently through my BIL and best friend from where they work.

    I'm half thinking of spending $$ on cinder blocks to get them off the ground.

    I think I could get several years out of these.

    I will take that as an endorsement of getting some block.

    Did you bury those, or has the earth decided to swallow them? :rofl: :lol:

    Not me... but I reaped the benefits.... I’m thinking that I’ll let my oak soak up the sun on them this summer...

    That oak looks like water oak, related to red oak, bark is not as rough as some red oak I've seen.
