You can but when it gets hot the creosote will bleed through the paint.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

If they are old poles I doubt there is much creosote left other than in the butt.

They replaced the poles along the road in front of our house. 15 of them. I have all but 4 cut into 9' pieces because my buddys band saw mill can only cut 9.5'. You can get a lot of 9' poles from 11 30' poles.
Anyway I figured to paint them before using as floor. I'll see if I can figure how to post a picture. just

The only help I can be is that I painted the lower part of a telephone pole that's in a parking lot so people don't hit it and it stayed white.

Is this going to be an outside floor like on a trailer or something?

Might treat it with kills first and then paint it. I would only do one and let it dry and get warm again before I used them. The smell will never leave. LLL

I have a line of 6' sections that border my property at the street so people don't park on my lawn. Put them there 15+ years ago. On a hot summer day you can smell them 5 feet away.

Why not stain them if want to make them look better?
