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.

Questions & Answers
How many 2x6x10 are in a bundle
Asked by Hotrod October 29, 2020Hotrod, Bundle sizes vary by location. Please contact your local Home Depot lumber associate to discuss the bundle size in your area.
What type of nail is good for 6 foot lengths of 2x6 pressure treated lumber - i will be using a pneumatic framing nailer. Installation is for a dock.
Asked by RJ September 13, 2020RJ, We suggest that you check in with your local building inspector to see what is required for nailing a deck board on top of a floor joist for a dock. This is because fresh water docks don’t have nearly as much corrosion as salt water decks. You should make sure to use highly corrosion-resistant nails and even stainless steel if it’s saltwater. The length of the nail should be a minimum 2.5” long so that there is at least 1” of embedment into the floor joist after going through the 1.5” of treated decking depth. Best of luck with your project.
