About This Product

Pressure-Treated Southern Yellow Pine meets the highest grading standards for strength and appearance. Treated for protection against fungal decay, rot and termites, it is ideal for ground contact and a variety of general uses including exposed structures, sill plates, decks, docks, ramps and other outdoor applications. Responsibly manufactured from renewable southern yellow pine, this lumber is both safe and environmentally friendly when used as directed in appropriate applications.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. Nominal Dimensions: 2 in. x 12 in. x 18 ft. (Actual Dimensions: 1.5 in. x 11.5 in. x 18 ft.)

                  We purchased this lumber for a well house project with a deck on top, and it turned out great. The wood was in excellent condition—straight, sturdy, and easy to handle. Delivery was smooth and on time, and we’ve always had a positive experience buying materials from Home Depot. It’s nice to be able to count on both quality and service.

                    I had 2x12x12s and Trex composite decking boards delivered. The 12x12x12s were twisted and beat up. The decking boards were scratched up and one was another manufacturer. I returned all and re-purchased; picked the products myself. I wasted time, effort, and $79 delivery fee.

                    Knots, missing edges and chinks
                    I did an order for delivery of lumber, mulch and soil. The bagged mulch was outstanding quality. The lumber was a huge disappointment. I truly believe that somewhere in the store is a stack of rejected lumber because of huge knots, chunks out of the edges and chinking. That is where all the lumber delivered to me in this order came from. No conscientious employees putting these loads together. It may be the managers. It may be the floor people, but they showed no care for this customer when they sent this lumber. I think I'd done better if I'd gone to a hurricane site and purchased debris, and I'd felt better paying the victims my money.

                      This wood was solid and dense, and was strong enough to stack on top of itself to make a two foot high raised garden bed. It's had 5 tons of dirt dumped against it and no bowing or breaking. Also purchased a few planks to build a solar panel mount and worked perfectly for that as well.

                      Poor quality
                      I could not tell how bad the board was cupped until I cut into four 3 ft lengths. The width on of one piece was an inch shorter than the others making constructing a box with all 4 sides matching up impossible.
