Untreated Landscaping Timbers Costly

Despite their low price, untreated landscaping timbers are no bargain compared to their pressure treated counterparts, warns the Western Wood Preservers Institute.

Since the timbers are stained to replicate the appearance of treated wood, many consumers think they are buying a treated product that will last for decades in ground contact.

But unprotected, the squared-off peeler cores typically begin to rot or become eaten by insects, and the project is lost.

So your customers' work doesn't go to waste, suggest pressure treated wood with a minimum net retention level of .40 pcf for ground contact, .25 for above ground. The wood will be either stamped or endtagged with the standard or manufacturer's warrantv.
