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.

About This Product

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.

      Q:is there any type of warranty on cupping, curling, bowing or splitting for the pressure treated lumber?
      by|May 25, 2023
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Chuck, cupping, curling, bowing and splitting are all natural characteristics of wood and therefore, are not covered under warranty. However, this lumber does have a Limited Lifetime Warranty that is eligible for the original consumer or "first owner" and covers "structural failure" caused by fungal decay or termites, etc. The Warranty can be viewed on this product page under Product Details --> Additional Resources.

          I placed an online order, delivered, so I was not able to choose my boards, the ones selected by Home Depot had many knots in it, one had some rot at the end of the board. Another one was not straight. The wood was already late for the project so I did the best I could with it.

          Used to replaced the floor of my 16' trailer. You have to look through to get the boards you want but overall there was not many I passed on. The wood is usually still wet when purchased so you have to let it dry if you don't want gaps after assembly.
