This timber has been pressure treated for critical structural (CS) applications, such as posts for post frame buildings, decks, porches, pavilions, pergolas, and gazebos. Many municipal and state building codes require this critical structural treatment when posts in a structural application are put into the ground. Critical structural significantly out performs wood treated to ground contact end use. This timber can be completely buried in the ground or submerged in fresh water.

• Rich color similar to coastal western cedar
• Triple-coated, hot-dipped galvanized, or stainless steel fasteners are recommended
• Kiln dried and heat treated prior to pressure treatment
• Actual size: dimensions at time of manufacture prior to pressure treatment. Product dimensions will vary depending on moisture content.  If installing pressure treated wood that is still damp from pressure treatment, expect shrinkage to occur. See Pressure Treated Wood FAQ's for more information.
