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
When will this be available again? It seems to be out of stock everywhere I've looked.
Asked by Rott August 8, 2020The raw materials to finished lumber process has all been hit hard with the pandemic. The supply chain to get trees to the mill to be processed into standard lumber as well as secondary lumber sizes has been slow to restart. You will have to talk to your local Store Manager to see when supplies are in the process to be shipped to your store. One option to consider is to order online and if the materials are available in the warehouses it can ship to your store.

Can these be used as replacement rails for fence (pictured below)?
Asked by JTsouthnj February 21, 2020I'm not sure what they normally use for wood on fences like that, but not sure why they couldn't be. Painted and sealed they should be fine. Only concern would be that they are not supported and might tend to twist or warp.
How many boards will I need for a 10 by 24 deck?
Asked by Bush May 29, 201714 boards
Will the boards shrink? What spacing should be used between boards for decking?
Asked by Jim May 23, 2017Yes they will as they dry out. When laying my deck I spaced the boards with 16p nails. Great for spacing and they slide back out really easy.
