Hello Ronald, we are sorry to hear this product did not meet your expectations. Treated wood is typically still wet when it's delivered to our retailers. As lumber dries, it may split, cup and warp, which are natural occurrences of wood. If you would like the opportunity to discuss the issue further, please reach out to UFP Retail Solutions at UFPRetailCS@UFPI.com, referencing this review, and one of our customer service representatives will be happy to assist you.
