Where preservative treatment is specified this shall conform to the requirements of subsection 716.03. Rustic rails shall be straight, sound, and free of injurious defects and shall have been cut from live trees not less than 30 days but not more than 1 year before use. They shall have been stripped of bark before seasoning or shall have been stored under water. Immediately before the logs are used in the work all knots and projections shall be trimmed smooth and, if water cured, all bark shall be peeled. Slight curvature or "wind" to give a pleasing appearance to the structure will be permitted. Logs of only one species shall be used in the construction of any one continuous length of guardrail. 710.06 Fence Posts. Wood posts shall conform to the details and dimensions indicated on the plans. All wood posts shall be of sound, seasoned wood, peeled and with ends cut square or as indicated.
