Treated Lumber Tips

Help Build Safes

Here is a list of quick facts to know when selling treated southern pine: o Properly treated with CCA-type preservatives, southern pine will resist decay and insect attack for decades. Field tests monitored by the U.S. Forest Service confirm this fact. r During the treating process, CCA preservatives penetrate deep into the wood's cellular structure and become nonleachablel that is, the preservative is permanently bonded to the wood fiber and cannot come out, o Southern pine is the preferred species for pressure treatment, because of its ability to accept and retain deep penetration of chemical preservatives. About 9006 of all treated wood is southern pine. o All fasteners used should be hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel. o When sawing or machining treated wood, a dust mask and eye goggles should be worn, o l)ispose of treated wood scraps in the trash. Do not burn. o Treated southern pine can be painted or stained just like untreated wood.

. Following construction, apply a water repellent sealer to all exposed wood surfaces.

AWPB To Become lnduetry Watchdog

Changes which will enable the American Wood Preservers Bureau to represint the treated wood industry as the American Lumber Standards Committee represents the entire lumber industry are underway.

Following a request from the special Organization Working Group of the National Forest Products Association Task Group on Quality Assurance Procedures, the American Wood Preservers Bureau board of governors has voted to redefine its activities to become the consensus body for quality assurance in the treating industry.

Recognition of the industry's quality assurance body as a consensus body is considered by the Task Group to be an essential part of the

Those in the industry with inventory they wish to donate to a nonprofit organization are being sought by Habitat for Humanity International.

Former President Jimmy Carter began working with Habitat for Hu- industry's overall product acceptance program in both domestic (building codes) and foreign commerce. The group also recommended that the program for the wood preserving industry be structured along the Iines of the American Lumber Standards Committee.

The need for the entire preservative treated wood industry to maintain a voluntary nationally recognized Wood Treating Assurance Program as a common basis for uniform industry wide inspection and quality marking procedures guided the NF'PA committee, said John Hall, president of the American Wood Preservers Institute. who chaired the group. They also felt the program should be based on the standards established by the American Wood Preservers Association. he noted, manity in 1984 and donated one day of carpentry skills and manual labor at a work site in Americus, Ca. Since then Jimmy Carter Work Projects have been held each year with the Carters joining other volunteers to build or renovate homes for others. This organization builds homes for the ill-housed and homeless, using donated materials and volunteer labor. Two 1990 projects will be centered in Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego, Ca.

After considering the merits of either creating a new organization or asking AWPB to become a true consensus body representing the whole industry, the group asked AWPB to consider making the recommended organizational changes. The AWPB board of governors accepted the offer in F'ebruary.

They have requested the NFPA Task Croup to reconsider some aspects of the proposal and assure support of the resulting organization. An NFPA/AWPB work group was scheduled to meet early this month to refine the details.
