Product Details
Add Value To Your Property
Studies show that adding a deck is one of the best ways you can increase your home's value.
Building Code Approved
Pressure-treated decking is building code approved for use in decking in above-ground or ground contact applications.
Extend The Life Of Your Deck
Your maintenance efforts will give you a pressure-treated project that looks bright and fresh for years to come!
Preventative Maintenance Plan
1. Depending on the location of your outdoor project with regard to direct sun exposure, foliage coverage, etc., it may be sufficient to clean/brighten and recoat every two years. 2. If you decide to wait two or more years to perform your next cleaning/brightening, you may want to use a power washer. Be sure that the cleaner/brightener you use contains a mildewcide.
Choosing The Right Stain Or Paint
When determining the right stain and paint for your deck, consider what color will best enhance the wood's finish.
Paint or Stain Tips
If you desire to paint or stain the treated wood project, it is important that the wood be dry enough to accept a coating. The best way to determine if the wood is sufficiently dry to paint or stain is to sprinkle droplets of water onto the wood. If the water droplets are absorbed, the wood is ready to be painted or stained. If the water droplets bead on the surface of the wood, it is too wet. You should wait a few days before attempting to paint and stain the wood.

Balusters & Spindles
Treated balusters are used not only for safety and strength, but they also aid in creating a custom look to your railing project.
Pressure-Treated Pine meets the highest grading standards for strength and appearance. This double 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.
- Made of southern yellow pine
- Ground Contact treated lumber can be used in both Above Ground and Ground Contact exterior applications
- Backed by a lifetime limited warranty against termite infestation and rot
- 2 in. x 8 in. x 10 ft.
- Must use Ground Contact pressure treated lumber where lumber is at risk for poor air circulation, less than six inches from the ground, or has poor or no water drainage below the structure
- #2 grade lumber has few defects, knots are well-spaced and do not exceed the size regulations.
- Uniform thickness, density and appearance for stable and long lasting performance
- Hot-dip galvanized fasteners are recommended
- Individual pieces of pressure treated lumber will reference Ground Contact on the end tag
- No two pieces of lumber are the same.
- Color, grain pattern and texture will vary as well.
- Prime grade lumber is the perfect choice if appearance is the main concern with your lumber project
- Prime grade lumber has fewer knots and an overall better appearance
- Prime grade lumber can be used for deck boards, fence panels

I purchased the Prime Ground Contact Pressure Trested Lumber for a new deck I was building. I have purchased lumber from other stores and most of the time I’ve had to select them individually by myself with little help, mainly because I wanted to select the best lumber with minimal curves or imperfections. The lumber I purchased from Home Depot was already picked and ready for me to load. The lumber was of great quality and had very little curves or imperfections. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase.

We ordered 2x4,6,8,10,12’s and deck boards… the quality was not there, there was cracks, split ends, large knot holes, huge chunks knocked in them.
We were able to get our decks assembled and had to take some wood back.

Response from UFPI RepresentativeJan 26, 2023
HomeDepotCustomer, we are sorry to hear this product did not meet your expectations. No two pieces of lumber are the same as color, grain pattern and texture will vary. #2 Grade lumber like these specific boards are preferred when strength, not appearance, is the main feature you are looking for on your project. If it’s highly important that your lumber look a certain way, we recommend hand-selecting your pieces at your local store to make sure that you get the correct grade of lumber for your project. If you would like the opportunity to discuss the issue further, please reach out to UFP Retail Solutions at UFPRetailCS@UFPI.com, referencing this review, and one of our customer service representatives will be happy to assist you.
