Jmozz, Not knowing where you're located, but keep in mind to set your post below the frost line. Here in Ohio it's 34 inches to 36 inches is where the bottom of the hole needs to be. This will keep winter frost heves nonexistant. Make sure to put gavel in the bottom of the hole to keep the water from "wicking" up into the wood. Also I have read that treated wood has some sort of chemical reaction to concrete but only when its wet. I pre-treated my pole barn poles with driveway sealer prior to pouring the concrete. Hope this is helpful.
