About This Product
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. Nominal Dimensions: 1 in. x 4 in. x 10 ft. (Actual Dimensions: 3/4 in. x 3.5 in. x 10 ft.)

Questions & Answers
Can I use this indoors to make frames for acoustic panels? It's the most affordable wood on shop thought I would ask
Hello BobTheBuilder, yes, this may be used for acoustic panels.
Can this be used for firing strips under metal roofing?
Mark, Yes, this board is double-treated for applications where treated lumber is difficult to maintain , repair or replace so this should work for that application.
Can I have these cut to specific lengths?
Errica, Please see a PRO associate at your local Home Depot to see what services are offered at your local store.
Two questions: 1. Can I use this on the outside of my single family house, which will be attached to a painted 1X4 on the siding of my house? I intend to prime and paint it to match my house paint color. 2. Should I prime & paint it before I attach it?
Yes, you can use this item on the outside of your house. We do not recommend painting these boards, but if your decorative decisions call for paint, make sure the wood is dry before application. (Pour some water over the surface. Remember, if it beads, wait; if it is quickly absorbed into the wood, it's ready.) The boards can be entirely primed and painted before installation, although it is more common to prime and paint only the top surface after installation.
Yes, the board can be used outside.
#1 Yes you can use. #2 This is treated wood. For your paint to stay and not peel off you will have to wait about 5 to 6 months for it to dry. I would us hemlock or regular pine house siding that has not been treated.
using to trim top of fence and can it be painted
Yes it can be painted
While this lumber provides a surface that is easy to paint, we do not recommend painting it. However, if your decorative decisions call for paint, make sure the wood is dry before application. (Pour some water over the surface. Remember, if it beads, wait; if it is quickly absorbed into the wood, it's ready.)
Can this be used to do a horizontal fence?
nah - Too weak
This pressure-treated board can be used to build a fence.
what stamp will be used on these boards to differentiate between pressure treated and not?
You can determine if the lumber is pressure-treated or not by looking at the end tag.
Pressure treated lumber in the eastern US is typically green in color due to the chemicals used to treat it. "PT" is also in the description on the bar code tag.
Is this southern yellow pine??
No, this product is not southern yellow pine.
In the text, it tells you that, "Southern yellow pine is responsibly manufactured, safe and environmentally friendly when used as directed," but as you can see from reading the other answers meant for you, it's NOT SYP. Incidentally, there are more than 105 species of pine.
This board is made of Parana Pine (Brazil) (Araucaria angustifolia).
