Questions & Answers
A Typical 4x4 has actual dimensions of 3.5x3.5. This product's specs say actual is 3.75x3.75. Is this correct or a typo? Thanks in advance.
Hi - I just looked at mine and they are 3.5".
TechCadet, these posts are rough cut, so the true dimensions are 3.5" x 3.5".
Is this wood treated? Why has CA cancer causing warning?
Sawdust is a known carcinogen, which is why CA has the warning. The board itself is harmless.
These cedar posts are not pressure-treated. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and decay. Products made of cedar may carry a Proposition 65 warning label due to the presence of naturally occurring chemicals, not from added treatments.
It says these Western Red Cedar posts are "green". What is the recommended time to wait for drying after purchase to be able to paint them?
