Questions and Answers for WeatherShield 2 in. x 6 in. x 8 ft. 2 Prime Ground Contact Pressure-Treated Southern Yellow Pine Lumber

A:  Yes they do.

A:  Contact the PRO Desk at Home Depot...who should be able to tell you about the product they are selling.

A:  I did some quick searches on the Home Depot Website and did not find anything with the compounds you list. I did see MCA, Micronized Copper Azole listed as the pressure treatment chemical for the lumber that popped up in one of my searches including the 2X6 under which you posted your question. From what I read, MCA is less corrosive to fasteners than CA and ACQ. MCA treated lumber is more likely to retain its natural color and can be placed in contact with aluminum. Also, one of the articles that I read grouped MCQ (Micronized Copper Quaternary) and MCA together under one heading which leads me to believe that their properties are similar.

A:  I dont think so. Just about every board i’ve bought is treated with MCA

A:  Yes, this lumber is 8 ft. long.

A:  Yes.

A:  No. If you have a standing water problem, try to alleviate it with a drainage system. If you can't drain the water, I would recommend pouring concrete pliers for the wood to rest on. If this product sits in water for extended periods of time, the treatment will leach out, and with that, the wood is not treated any longer.

A:  No. Not unless treated and then may not last long.

A:  Yes, this Micronized Copper Azole (MCA) pressure-treated lumber can be submerged in freshwater.

A:  This would not be a good application. This lumber is for ground contact only. You would need a marine grade treated timber for that, avail will special order at the Home Depot Pro Desk

A:  Yes. It will last for many years.

A:  No that would not be a good application MCA. Treated lumber is a better choice. Check with your local Home Depot Pro Desk they should be able to special order the proper material just make sure that it’s is specific for marine applications

A:  Usually around 50.

A:  John I'm not sure because I didn't get that many of them. I would get a quote on bulk from them and that should tell you how many feet there is in a bulk.

A:  20 high 48 wide

A:  From what i'm told this lumber is pressure treated and contains no harmful chemicals

A:  I have our raised garden which is made of 6x6x12 treated lumber on the perimeter of the garden, and it did not cause any problems with vegetables growing or contamination of the vegetables that grew in the raised garden , good luck.

A:  if you want chemicals in your vegetables, but I wouldn’t risk it.

A:  yep

A:  Recommend lining the inside walls of the planter box with heavy duty black plastic. As long at the treated wood doesn't come in contact with you planting soil, you reduce any chance of contamination. That said, I think the chance of contamination is low without it.

A:  Yes, this lumber can be used for a raised garden bed.

A:  Not recommended. Too many chemicals. Better to use cedar.

A:  Since these are ground treated, I would think they would be great! Good luck

A:  Yes, in fact I recommend it since regular wood will rot much quicker. Treated wood is meant for outdoor use. You can also google "pressure treated wood" for vegetable gardens for further information.

A:  Pressure-treated wood is softwood lumber, usually southern yellow pine, that's been chemically treated to resist termites, decay & rot. If the wood is marked "Ground Contact", it is treated to be placed directly on or in the ground. That does NOT mean that it will last indefinitely.

A:  No. This is rated for ground contact above ground only.

A:  Yes, as long as you confirm the end tag says “UC4A” or “UC4B”.

A:  Sorry, But I have never used it in an underground project. I have had several on ground contact that have seemed to serve well. My guess would be they would work but I can't promise that.
