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.

Questions & Answers

Do they cut 4x4s at the store for customers?

Asked by: HK
Hi, I'm happy to answer your question. Yes, Home depot does cut wood. How ever they do not offer precision cuts, so the tolerance is 1/2 inch to any and all cuts for the dimensions requested.

Is it safe to eat fruit or vegetables grown in contact with the treated lumber?

I want to build an arbor to grow grapes
Asked by: PinballHornet
From the University of Missouri: "ACQ (akaline copper quaternary) is an alternative preservative choice for pressure-treated lumber. Unlike CCA, it does not contain arsenic or chromium. It does, however, contain copper, which can leach into the soil from treated lumber. Although copper is an essential element for both plants and animals, excessive amounts can be harmful. A 2007 study of the safety of ACQ published in Human and Ecological Risk Assessment concluded that exposure to copper from contact with ACQ-treated wood is not expected to have adverse effects on the health of adults or children."

How deep does a 4x4 post have to be in the ground. It will be used only as a flag pole,

It would appear that 1 foot would deep enough.
Asked by: Ed
it depends on how long or tall your pole is going to stick out of the ground i would recomend 36-48 inches whoever told you 1 foot is good enough ,you may want to put a sign that says watch out for falling pole /stay clear !!!

4 in. x 4 in. x 8 ft. #2 Ground Contact Pressure-Treated Southern Yellow Pine Timber is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 624.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I always use 4x4s for outdoor projects. They may sometimes be bigger than I need but it's better ... I always use 4x4s for outdoor projects. They may sometimes be bigger than I need but it's better to be safe and they can always be turned into something else later. I bought these for a vertical garden project. I used Sakrete in the holes and lets the posts sit overnight before adding the garden and soil. The garden has been up since March (it's December now) and the posts have not warped and they're going strong. They'll probably outlast the garden project and be turned into birdhouse posts or a berry vine trellis in the future.
