Pressune treated wood is profitable-that's the beauty of it

In western states, any piece of wood is a candidate for decay because of moisture in the air and in the ground. Fungi feed on moist wood, reducing its strength until it is completely rotten or decayed. hessure treatment renders wood unusable for fungi and termites, thereby preserving it. fu a result, fences will not blow down and deck boards will not collapse when built with pressure treated product.

The Forest Products Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture has determined that wood pressure treated properly will last in excess of 50 years when exposed to the elements in temperate climates. The Uniform Building Code now requires that wood used in important structural members in ground contact must be pressure treated.

What to look for in properly treated wood

A wide variety of preservatives are used in pressure treatment, including creosote and pentachlorophenol. The WWPI promotional campaign will be stressing the use of wood treated with waterborne salts, which are the most economical and practical preservatives for wood used in outdoor residential projects. Waterborne salts include the preservatives ammoniacal copper arsenate (ACA) or chromated copper arsenate (CCA). Both treatments impart an attractive tint ranging from light green to bluish green.

There are two levels of waterborne salt treatment available from western treating plants. Lumber stamped with the LP-2

GROUND CONTACT LP.22

Treating stamps that include the above marks indicate adherence to the AIUPB Quality Control Program.

Quality Mark of the American Wood Preservers Bureau is for above ground use and is commonly purchased for sill stock. Lumber marked AWPB LP-22 is for ground contact use. lt is fhe LP-22 wood thatWWPI is recommending to the consumer in its promotional campaign. Nl LP-22 wood is treated to a minimum retention of 0.4 pounds per cubic foot.

Ask any WWPI member firm for recommendations on species and grades.
