I have some sign posts made from sapele hardwood. Its like a goal post arrangement . 2 posts (3"x"2") with the sign panel bridging the top.
I've been advised to apply bitumen paint to the bottom of the posts up to just above ground level. I am worried that if the post is sealed it will accumulate moisture and rot out anyway, The ground is quite clayey so I need to do something. Will painting with bitumen do a good job? What do you suggest?
