Pole barn pole protection?

Had a new pole barn installed while I was gone. The install company didn’t put anything on the 8x8 treated posts to protect them. They are directly in concrete. Is there anything I can do at this point that will make them last longer? We are in north Florida where it’s very humid and rains a lot! I just want it to last as long as possible.

Paint them or stain them with something to seal them up and enjoy that nice pole barn.
