Real larch stakes go for 12 Euro and last 30 years. I doubt they are real

I put down a lot of treated larch 10 years ago and there nearly all rotten now so untreated I'd say not a great job.they may be cheap now but in 4? Years if you're replacing all them you'll b cursing yourself that you didn't buy the proper ones.im sorry now that I didn't put down the creosote ones instead of the larch.
The price is one thing but the work in replacing them should not be under estimated.do it right first time is my advice.

i but up a larch fence 35 years ago, it is still up, it is treated every three years, it is set in concrete, btw the sawmill in tipp town is selling them @ 20 euro per dozen, they are over six foot long

There are different varieties of larch, Japanese and European and x between the 2. European larch is the best and has a deep red colour, paler stuff is crap.
