I have teak trees and would like to use them as support posts for a roof over my patio. They are free and would look better than steel or concrete.

I dont really know much about teak. They will sit on the conctete slab and be bolted to the steel beams. They will get some rain blown in on them and Id like to know if they should be treated with anything. Im assuming they will last quite a while?

When I've seen locals use teak for roof joists, they've put the logs in the lake to soak for a month. This makes the teak harder and more resistant. Be warned though, teak doesn't float.
