A:  I'm sure you can get the technical specs from home depot, your deck designer can calculate what size of support you need; 4 x 4, 6 x 6, or 8 x 8. I used these posts to build my fence, and my deck has 8 by 8 as far as support members

A:  Above material is Hem-Fir. A group of Hemlock and Western White Firs. Selected for appearance, 80% FOHC. Treatment does not affect structural quality of material. Good luck with your project!

A:  Good question. Construction Select is intended for applications where code approved treated lumber is called for, like deck joists or any structural member. Those products have more preservative and incising to ensure full penetration of the preservative. Outdoor Select products are intended as non structural appearance products, like the surface of the deck or railing, balusters, etc.

A:  I honestly do not know. I do know that the weight can vary because of how the lumber is treated, dried during processing. They are typically stout and sturdy pieces of lumber used where strength and durability are needed.

A:  figure 3.5 lbs per foot. So an 8 ft. 4x4 would be 8 x 3.5 = 28 lbs.

A:  Weight = approx. 44.7 lbs. each. Please note our material is pressure treated with a water based treatment so actual weight varies due to how recently material was treated. Good luck with your project!

A:  Hi CTS78. This type of timber is the correct type of wooden post to be used when placing posts into the ground in a concrete base. This lumber is pressure treated in order to protect it from termites, fungal decay, and rot. It is ideal for a variety of applications, including decks, playsets, landscaping, stair support, walkways and other outdoor projects where lumber is exposed to the elements. This lumber can be painted or stained. When used properly, it is both safe and environmentally friendly. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rick_HD_OC
