About This Product
Pressure-Treated Pine meets the highest grading standards for strength and appearance. This treated Ground Contact lumber must be used for applications where treated lumber is difficult to maintain, repair or replace. Treated lumber is critical to the performance and safety of an entire system or construction such as deck joists, beams and ledger boards. An additional benefit of treated lumber is its defense against rot and insect infestation for its vast majority of applications. Southern yellow pine is responsibly manufactured, safe and environmentally friendly when used as directed. Treated wood is typically still wet when it's delivered to The Home Depot or job site. As it dries, you should expect slight changes in width and length. As lumber dries, it may split, cup and warp. This is more likely to occur to occur in lower-grade boards, where knots and uneven grains are already present. Each piece of lumber is unique and carries physical characteristics that may include the following: knots, warping, shrinkage, swelling and/or splitting.

Does this help prevent termite rot
Frustrated01, Yes, ground-contact pressure-treated lumber is treated to resist rot, fungal decay, and termite damage, making it a good choice for areas that touch soil or stay damp. While it significantly reduces the risk compared to untreated wood, it’s not 100% termite-proof, especially in constantly wet conditions.

Can this be used for a rot board at base of fence below pickets?
Hi Rotboard, yes, this product may be used for your desired application.
What is the actual size of a 2x4
Doug, A standard 2×4 does not measure a full 2 inches by 4 inches after milling. The actual size is about 1.5 inches thick by 3.5 inches wide, with the 8 feet referring to its length. This is normal for dimensional lumber and applies to pressure-treated boards as well.
