Yes u are rite about the laminated poles having a little better retention for the new treatments, and they tend to be much straighter than solids, but typically they can be more expensive, probably about 30% more. With the treatment used in the solid poles today such as the AQC, i would make sure the poles are treated at a recommended below grade retention. Also dont put the cut ends in the ground, keep the cut ends up by the truss carrier where they wont get wet anyhow. As long as the treatment is not desturbed the pole should be fine. Most importantly, remember to use hot dipped gal. or stainless fastners with the new treatment. Bright nails will rust out extremely fast. Also it is important to run a layer of ice shield or some short of protective layer to seperate the treated batter board from your steel rat guard and siding, otherwise the high copper concentration in the treatment will react with the steel also. Just a few thoughts from a pole barn supplier
