While pressure-treated lumber like this is commonly used for fences, and offers protection against rot and insects, it's not specifically designed to deter beavers. Beavers are persistent and can chew through wood. For a truly beaver-proof fence, consider using wire mesh or other more robust materials along with the lumber, or consult with a local wildlife expert for recommendations specific to your area.
Larry, yes, this product has been pressure treated for ground contact and is ideal for most outdoor applications.
Leo9, warping is a natural characteristic of lumber and can happen to any size of type of wood. We suggest applying a wood sealer with a UV protectant to slow the expansion and contraction of the lumber during the wetting and drying cycle. This reduces the risks of warping.
