I bought the treated stuff from Home Depot - the 1x3s(?) that sit on the ground are already rotting away. Go with cedar for those, at a minimum. Or, if you've got the cash, try the vinyl stuff. I made a section of garden fence out of some of the 3' stuff, and it's great to work with. If I had known nearly all of my fence sections were going to rot away when I bought my house, I would've gone vinyl and replaced them all at once.
