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

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.
Made of pine
Ground Contact treated lumber can be used in both Above Ground and Ground Contact exterior applications
Backed by a lifetime limited warranty against termite infestation and rot
5/4 in. x 6 in. x 16 ft.
Must use Ground Contact pressure treated lumber where lumber is at risk for poor air circulation, less than six inches from the ground, or has poor or no water drainage below the structure
Ground Contact treated lumber should be used in tropical climates or applications likely to have prolonged contact with vegetation or leaf litter
Ideal for a variety of general uses including exposed structures, sill plates, decks, docks, ramps and other outdoor applications
Uniform thickness, density and appearance for stable and long lasting performance
Hot-dip galvanized fasteners are recommended
Individual pieces of pressure treated lumber will reference Ground Contact on the end tag
WeatherShield includes water repellant in the treatment process
No two pieces of lumber are the same.
Color, grain pattern and texture will vary as well.
Use standard grade lumber is a rustic appearance is desired with your lumber project
Standard grade will have more natural characteristics than premium grade and the size of knots may be larger
This lumber will contain more knots that will range in size
Excellent for deck. We used the 16 feet boards and it made our build so much easier. Very happy.

1st lot was a little knotty but the second lot was much better and we are thoroughly satisfied with the results. These 16 ft boards are just the ticket for our DYI project.

This product looked good when I purchased it but after it was exposed to the elements severe warping of the boards happened making about 10% of it completely unusable. I believe the wood should have been dried better before selling it to consumers or a 10% discount should be given to compensate for the unusable waste.

Used this on edge in contact with the ground to create sliding doors on each end of a hooped greenhouse so I could cover it with hardware cloth. End result was something that doesn't rot and prevents all kinds of unwanted critters from getting to my tomatoes.

Material delivered to me was average at best.
I realize taking a chance having someone else pick my lumber for me is just that, taking a chance.
I was hoping for better quality considering the astronomical price I paid for each piece.
In the end it worked out, knots and all.
