Studies show that adding a deck is one of the best ways you can increase your home's value.
Building Code Approved
Pressure-treated decking is building code approved for use in decking in above-ground or ground contact applications.
Extend The Life Of Your Deck
Your maintenance efforts will give you a pressure-treated project that looks bright and fresh for years to come!
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.

Balusters & Spindles
Treated balusters are used not only for safety and strength, but they also aid in creating a custom look to your railing project.
Pressure-Treated Southern Yellow Pine meets the highest grading standards for strength and appearance. Color-infused, so pigment is driven deep into wood fibers, creating beauty that's guaranteed to stand up to the elements for years. 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.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.

Answer This Question
A:Â Pressure treated lumber does contain some moisture. It could take several weeks for it to dry out and will shrink a little as it does so. If you need more stable dimensions then kiln dried lumber is better. If there is contact with cement or moisture then pressure treated lumber will last longer.
by|Apr 20, 2020
A:Â Yes, the dimensions would be closer to the 3.5" than 4". Any 2x4 you purchase from a box store or local store will be the "smaller" dimensions. You will have to visit a mill itself or someone who does rough cut lumber at the actual 2x4 dimensions if that is what you want. Will certainly cost you more but it can be had, just not at the typical box store.

A:Â Yup

A:Â Yes, 2x4s are 3-1/2x1-1/2. Been that way for 50 + yrs.

The WeatherShield 2 in. x 4 in. x 10 ft. #2 Prime Cedar-Tone Ground Contact Pressure-Treated Lumber Is and excellent product with nice features. First the vast majority of boards are straight with minimal knots. The Cedar-Tone coloring/treatment is uniform and looks really great from day one of installing. I also like the boards are actually longer that the stated length...usually 1/2" or more...this is great when cutting into multiple boards to allow for the cut line. I always use the Cedar-Tone boards for outdoor projects. I just finished a zipline platform for my grandkids.

Ordered for delivery because I don't have a truck and it came warped. If I had picked the wood myself it probably would have gotten more stars
