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
I recently had a deck built and it has bright green areas (probably the chemical mixed with sap)....
Asked by Maggie August 1, 2020The green color is from oxidized copper that was used to treat the wood. Copper kills fungi which would otherwise rot the wood. The color will go away with rain and time as the copper runs off the wood. You can pressure wash it for faster results and then stain. Just ensure the wood has dried before you stain it
Can you use this board as the top of a hand rail?
Asked by Ron June 19, 2020If you'd like
Would this be ok to use for outdoor furniture to set in. It will be stained and have urethane coat.
Asked by Maddog June 18, 2020Yes this will work for that
I need 90 board how can I get them
Asked by Eddie03 June 11, 2020You can schedule a delivery. There is currently a nationwide shortage of pressure-treated lumber so it may be hard to find.
I have 5” wide pressure treated deck boards and I need to replace a few of them. I see on the website you have 4”wide or 6”wide deck boards.
Asked by AllenB June 1, 20205/4is only sold in 5 1/2 true width. but I an sure if you need to get a specific size you can have some custom ordered thru one of the mills but it will cost a great deal and you will need to order a min amount. If you need specific widths you will have to check your local HD to see if they can even make that happen for you.
Are your premium 5/4 deck boards No. 1 or No. 2?
Asked by Jim May 9, 2020we get both but you have to make sure you are getting the ones that you want. I would pick all my own boards . Thanks
what kind of pressure treated lumber is best for gardening
Asked by jackie April 5, 2020For a raised garden, use a 2 x board for added strength
How many boards will it take to build a walkway 4 feet wide by 40 feet long
Asked by Jfry February 7, 202040' x 12 in/ft = 480" of total length; 480" length / 5.5" wide = 87 four foot wide pieces laid side by side to get to reach 40' length; 16' / 4' wide (ignoring saw kerf) = 4 pieces per length; 87 pieces needed / 4 pieces per length of stock = 22 pieces of product needed to be purchased for surface decking. That's why Ms. Gantt always said to "show your work" in algebra class - now I get it! You will of course need more wood if you're also building the support structure and not resurfacing existing. Highly recommend pressure treated support structure - it doesn't do any good to have a good surface on top of a structure below that rots away.
