TREATED LUMBER

" Cobb treated lumber lasts a full 30 years!"

COBB LUMBER SUPPLIES TREATED LUMBER AND TIMBERS FOR A VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS: ROADWAY AND RAILROAD BRIDGE BUILDING, HOME CONSTRUCTION, POLE BARNS AND OTHER FARM STRUCTURES, HOUSE PILING, PIERS, MARINES, AND OTHER WATER FRONT STRUCTURES.

ALL ITEMS ARE TREATED TO THE LATEST AMERICAN WOOD-PRESERVERS ASSOCIATION ( AWPA ) STANDARDS. TREATMENTS AVAILABLE INCLUDED: CREOSOTE, PENTA AND CCA. DIFFERENT TREATMENT RENTENTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE INTENDED USE. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT RENTENTION IS NEEDED FOR YOUR APPLICATION PLEASE LET ONE OF OUR SALESPERSONS HELP YOU.

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.
