Treated Wood For National Defense

The U.S. Air Force's new over-the-horizon backscatter (OTH-B) radar system can detect targets up to 2,000 statute miles away. Part of this sophisticated system, the antennas transmitting radar signals from Christmas Valley, Or., is protected by a pressure treated wood fence.

The fence encloses the land surrounding each of the site's three 3,640-foot-long antennas for a total of almost four miles per antenna, or about l2 miles of fence.

Pressure treated wood fencing was specified and designed by the Corps of Engineers because it would not interfere electronically with the radar and afforded the most economical protection available.

Material is Douglas fir kiln-dried to 190/o maximum moisture content. After it was cut, beveled and drilled, the wood was pressure-treated with ACZA to .50 lbs/cu. ft. retention for the ground-contact posts, and to .25 lbs/ cu. ft. retention for the rails and pickets.

Hardboard Siding Use Grows

The 1990s will see increased use of hardboard siding in up-scale homes.

Architects and builders told the American Hardboard Association in an informal poll that hardboard siding is selected, in many instances, because of the textures and styles available. The stability and uniformity of engineered wood was another criterion cited as often in-' fluencing their decision to specify hardboard siding.
