Look for the quality mark

A?;y#-? ilrl,'f"'sr:,;H, il:: duct quality and product handling become increasingly important. With a little knowledge and a little care, though, any potential quality or handling problans can easily be avoided. Only the ignorant or careless need suffer harm.

The great bulk of pressure treated wood being sold meets or exceeds required standards. Still, experts claim that as much u 20s/o of all pressure treated wood is not properly dried, is not inspected or stamped and has not been treated correctly. While this sizable fraction concerns those interested in industry standards, it needn't be a problem at the distribution level as extensive information and assistance is readily available. What to look for in pressure treated products is daailed in this issue and in numerous pieces of manufacturers' literature. Associations and other industry organizations are poised to quickly resolve any ques- tions dealers and wholesalers might have. ln most cases thes€ serviccs are free and as close as a telephone.

As with any manufactured product, a few minutes spent reading the manufacturer's instructions can avoid hours of product problems. Nothing cornplicated here, just a fav simple steps to follow. Cover your treatd lumber in slorage, don't burn scraps, discard them, and launder separately clothes worn while handling the wood. Use eye goCgles and a dust mask when sawing. This last caution actually applies to any lumber. Care in use and handling can avert the problems.

People who purchase products and find themselves unable to make them work are often told, "if all else fails, read the in*ructions." The same applies here. Only do it first because otherwise any difficulties you encounter with pressure treated wood will be your own fault.
