get a 16 ft trailor and cut them 16 ft long take a couple of pipes or pole and a come-a-long to roll them up the poles for loading. if you laterdeside to cut them in half for fence posts its no big deal but you'll also have some nice 16fters for a pole barn or even a log cabin garden shed .

I wouldn't use poles treated with creosote anywhere children or livestock can get near it. Creosote poisoning used to be alot more common until people stopped using it so much.

Creosote is a known poison and here's what the government says about exposure to it:

Personally I know of a half dozen large mammals that died from suspected creosote poisoning after being in creosote treated enclosures so it's not something I would want anywhere near my house or barn or water source.
