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.

Pressure-Treated 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.
  • Made of pine
  • Ground Contact treated lumber can be used in both Above Ground and Ground Contact exterior applications
  • Backed by a lifetime limited warranty against termite infestation and rot

  • Ideal for a variety of general uses including exposed structures, sill plates, decks, docks, ramps and other outdoor applications
  • Uniform thickness, density and appearance for stable and long lasting performance

Does this wood need to dry out before painting it?

Could this be used as fence pickets?

Asked by: Amj
You could use them for pickets as long as you don't span to large a gap between rail. The material will warp and twist if not secured about every 3'.

I had to sort through half the stack to find enough boards for a small fence project. Boards had bark inclusions up to half the width of the board, unstable knot holes, and wain more than an inch into the board.

STARTED USING THIS TO BUILD A long picket fence, 6 months a go the quality of these boards was excellent but as of late they are garbage. would not recommend unless you like the junk lumber look. Had to sort through hundreds of boards to find a few worth using. Very knotty .

Used these as furring/purlin strips while installing a metal roof on a newly constructed shed. A few of the boards were warped, but I was able to flex them enough to get them to straighten out and secured them. Installed these over the felt paper and roof sheathing.

To get a complete flat edge we needed to rip a slight amount on a table saw on both sides. You must be selective about which boards you get, many have warps and twists.
