Fresh spotted gum trunks for structural posts?
Hi All,
I posted this under cubby houses, but it's actually just as appropriate here, so please excuse the repost...
I have some fresh spotted gum tree trunks that were very recently felled to make a fire break. I would like to use them as posts for a cubby house - they are 150 - 300 mm, and I'm leaving them round and rugged.
Obviously the timber is still very green (they were alive until chopped down), so:
1) What issues should I expect if I use them as corner posts for an elevated cubby with deck?
2) How can I eliminate or minimise the effect of these issues (apart from waiting 2 years for them to dry out...)
Note: at the base they will be encased in concrete.
Thx.
