.40 lbs./cu. ft.; and wood foundations, FDN, require .60 lbs./cu. ft.

The treating process does not weaken the wood or make it diflicult to work with. Pressure-treated lumber may be used just like untreated lumber of the same grade. Lumber used for structural applications must have a grade stamp as well as a quality mark.

Rust-resistant nails. screws. bolts or ties must be recommended by sales people. Such fasteners include hot-dipped galvanized or zinc coated, stainless steel, or silicon brass.

The customer should be advised to keep drilling or cutting of treated lumber to a minimum at the job site. Brushing cut ends and drilled holes with a preservative should be recommended. Products containing copper napthenate are most often used for field treatment and can be cross merchandised with pressure treated lumber.

Customers also should be made aware of the Environmental Protection Agency precautions for the use and disposal of treated lumber. Consumer Information Sheets for various treatments must be available to the buyer.

The dealer who instructs his staff well in these basics will have a satisfied do-it-yourself customer with a long lasting outdoor project.
