 poles in the ground vs concrete footings with anchor

back to the thread earlier about rotting treated posts.Add my2cents of..encounters. Alot of variables come into play, I've witnessed the extremes one post rotted at the grade level in 18 years anda neighbor who reworked part of his barn -posts 30yrsold looked like the day they were placed.Both were in sand/'road gravel' fill. We figure its the post(wood) itself and actual treatment received and the environment they end up in- pH of soil, drainage,freeze/thaw etc. Ifigure it's a gamble any direction -post, concrete, steel all have pros/cons and $$$ tied to them. Along with what purpose and duration were using them from lowly/quikie toolshed to "taj mahal" showpalace
