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.

Hello, I would like 20 feet of wood.

How soon can this be painted?
Sean, we do not recommend a traditional paint method for ProWood Lumber, as paint does not always adhere as the customer would like. However, if your project does call for paint, be sure the lumber is dry and ready to accept paint. Your climate will affect when the product is ready to accept a paint or stain (and sealer). Know when to apply a wood sealer by dripping water onto the deck surface. If the water quickly absorbs into the wood, it's ready to accept a paint/stain. If the water droplets bead up, the product will not be able to accept the paint/stain.
Can these be used as bunk boards on a pontoon boat trailer? They will be in water while loading the boat ?
Larry, Since this product is rated for ground contact, it would work well for a boat trailer. One thing to keep in mind is that aluminum contact is not recommend with ProWood products are immersed in water or are subject to frequent and prolonged wetting. In cases where this may happen, we suggest a moisture resistant barrier between the pressure treated lumber and the aluminum building products.
