Southern Yellow Pine, pressure treated. make sure it's the straightest one you can find. might need to have a mill strip it and cut it to length.
Creosote last longer, and is easier to climb too.

So I went to "CDV777-1's" house today, and finally was able to test the AC transformer box which was reported to have been non-functional and was the cause of the T-128 being battery powered only.. The box seems to function just fine no shorts, or anything weird going on. I will have to re-wire the control box to be able to test the AC transformer with the siren but seems to me this siren only had a bad fuse or bad circuit breaker. (there was no real disconnect it was only three 20amp breakers 40 amps on 240 and 20 amp 120. I will really get cranking on this in the beginning of july when i get the time finally.

Go with yellow; I've never seen or heard of a yellow T-128. If there can be yellow 2001s I don't see why there can't be a yellow T-128.
