Is your wood good
for 30 years? Three Points to Check:
1. Does the preservative
used in the treatment conform with all AWPA standards?
2. Has the wood been
pressure treated by AWPA standards?
3. Has the moisture
content been reduced sufficiently before treatment by
one of the following methods: air seasoning, kiln drying,
steaming, or a combination of these?
It is absolutely necessary to have this moisture content
reduced in order to get proper penetration of preservative
required for long life.
Leave out any one of these three and your wood has little
chance of lasting. In fact, any wood not properly treated
will decay in two to twelve years, depending on soil conditions.
