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.

It's just treated lumber with a cedar stain that sands off leaving a natural finish.
But it's a couple $$ more than natural finish treated lumber.
I appreciate our local store providing curbside pick up but I had to return it because it was so warped and twisted
leaving me to wonder if it truly is treated lumber.

This 2x4 is very good quality if it's not warped. Take the time at the store to pick out your boards. Supervise the HomeDepot staff if they pick for you or you will get many bent and warped boards. I ordered 33 boards and the order was picked by the HomeDepot crew, I found out when I got home to unload that I had 7 warped boards that I had to return and replace.

Boy this stuff is soaking wet.
I ordered a load to build new front steps and a small deck. It looks mostly okay but it arrived full of water. Or something. Because it was so wet I jammed the deck boards really tight against each other and now, less than two weeks later, they all have spaces of 1/8 or better between them. Two 2x4 rails and three or four spindles have warped so badly I'll have to replace them. For the most part this has been okay but now I'm questioning their treatment process and thinking I should have bought this wood six months ago, stacked and stickered it till it dried, and THEN used it. I thought all dimensional lumber was dried at least a little bit but I might be remembering times long gone. If I had to do it over again I'd have gone with kiln dried, and probably not from HD. But I think with some rework and time, this will last. It's just much lower quality than I thought I was getting.
