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.

can this be used for gate posts
Asked by gatemaker October 7, 2020yes it can be.
why $7 dollars to 18$ dollars
Asked by cajun September 9, 2020Supply and demand. With homeowners and renters home a lot during this Covid epidemic, home patios, decks, etc. have been built a lot. Supply is low and demand for 4x4s is high. Home Depot has to pay more for extra shipments and expedited delivery. The costs get passed on to the consumer.
What’s with the almost $10 per post price hike? 6 months ago 4x4x8’s were $9 each.
Asked by Bill September 2, 2020Yeah Bill… That’s right. With the pandemic hitting in the country hard , everything‘s going up. Paper plates, paper towels, bathroom tissue, paper cups are all derived from the products of wood. And as you can tell , most of the stores have been wiped out on most of these products. So if that’s the case which I’m sure it is, treating what’s left will be at a higher premium along with the fact that it won’t be as much in stock. Let’s hope we can beat this thing to get these prices down to normal because it’s not just wood products, but quite a few other products that’s been affected. :-)
