I have three posts two of which are shown in the pics. The third is surrounded by concrete that needs broken to get to. They look in pretty bad shape but I’m not that experienced. The middle column also has carpenter ants near the deck surface that made it their home. The whole deck was built with untreated wood.
I know they need replaced but can it wait til spring or would I have to do it now? Are there any temporary fixes if I am able to wait?
First pic is center, second is left when facing deck.
EDIT: I realized there is some more damage that I would like to ask about. There are a couple more pics showing rot where the ledger attaches. Can you guys recommend the best course for repair considering the ledger and posts? Should I just call in someone experienced?
