Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure you have appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection, as working with pressure-treated timber generates sawdust. If cutting the boards, it is recommended to apply a wood preservative to the exposed, freshly cut ends to maintain the effectiveness of the treatment. For installation, use galvanized or stainless steel screws and nails to prevent corrosion from contact with the wood treatment chemicals. To extend the life of your timber, apply an exterior-grade wood stain or sealant annually. Store boards in a dry, ventilated area off the ground until ready for use to prevent excessive moisture absorption or warping.
