Product Overview
Add Value To Your Property
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 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.

Very Nice, Clear Pressure Treated Lumber
This lumber was extremely nice. Generally, pressure treated lumber is full of knots and cracks but this "Premium" lumber had very few imperfections. Using this lumber for an outdoor bench restoration provided a very nice end product as the pictures will show. Paying the little extra for the "Premium" grade lumber is well worth the cost for making a quality end product.

Excellent quality of wood provided to complete this project. I used the boards for the top of an outside cover for my lawn sprinkler pump and LP gas bottle area. I cook with gas and using the small bottles allows me to haul them in the trunk of my car for a refill. A bottle lasts 1 1/2 - 2 months.

Of the 40 deck boards I bought, I was not able to use 3 of them, do to warping, or splitting in the boards. Other than that I was very please and would buy them again.

There's not much you can say about a piece of pt lumber, but I do find myself buying about 8-10 of these a month year round to build mini, kid sized, picnic tables to sell as a hobby. I have found that HD always has a good quantity on hand, even through the winter when it's off season. The quality of these is much better then what I see in my 2 local big blue box stores indoor lumber yard and I haven't had any warp badly on me as pt wood can sometimes do when drying out. It's easy to find straight, uncupped and unbowed planks with very few to no knots for my tables.

Great board, I have used it for both decking and carpentry. Most boards on the pile are generally in good shape (no bad bends) and appearance is good. It is generally wet from pressure treating so it takes screws without pre-drilling (at least 1.5" or greater from edges). I do not gap this boards when wet for decking, when they shrink (dry) they gap on their own. Do not stain or paint these boards for several months until they have dried out. Boards are made of whitewood (pine, fir, spruce)

It's really what it is. It's super wet, and very consistent in its inconsistency. But it works, you know, it's what it is, and if this is what you expect and want to your project, this works just fine. Just don't expect it to be anything pristine or perfect. And just get 25% more than you actually need so you can pick and choose, and return the crappiest ones. This is not going to blow your mind with quality, so keep your expectation in check.

Very pleased with this batch of deck boards. 110 ordered online, so I didn't get to choose for myself.
Only had to cull 4 out of the entire batch. Boards were damp from treating, so I didn't use any spacing during the install. 3ish weeks later, I have 1/16" to 1/8". Happy with the results considering my skills are fairly in the "wood butcher" realm.
My only complaint (not much of one,) is the stamp. I had to use the 'bad' side of a handful of the boards, and the stamp is showing. I'm sure it will fade soon enough though.
