Otherwise, as everyone else mentions, most pt wood you find easy is the low grade stuff. If you need to put a post in the ground, it needs to be treated to .6. That is gonna cost more, if you are cheap today, you will pay for it in 8-15 years redoing the job.
Laminated post treated to .6 or more is better than a pole, wood today is knotty and weak, the laminates allow the pt to soak in all the way, and the laminated wood is stinger than a solid knotty piece - same idea as plywood, the different layers make it stronger.
As well, you can PT the bits below ground, the parts up in the air can be regular wood, put the money and treatment where needed, save money above ground.
I wouldn't bother with a regular pole any more. Laminated can be so much better.
The special concrete pillars with a metal bracket, heavily rerodded, so the wood sits above the ground in the metal saddle, are even better of course. You can make them with a concrete tube, rerod, and metal bracket but you need to know what you are doing for any size of building.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
