Understanding 1x lumber dimensions: When you see "1x" lumber, it refers to a nominal size. Due to the milling process, the actual dimensions are slightly smaller. A standard 1x board has an actual thickness of typically around 3/4 of an inch. The number following the "1x" indicates the nominal width (e.g., 1x4, 1x6, 1x8, 1x10, 1x12). These nominal widths also correspond to smaller actual widths; for instance, a 1x4 board is actually closer to 3.5 inches wide. Knowing these actual dimensions is important for accurate project planning. Why choose pressure-treated lumber? Treated lumber undergoes a chemical process designed to protect it from the common culprits of wood degradation: rot, fungal decay, and insect infestation like termites. This treatment is crucial for wood used in outdoor or moisture-prone environments. The specific type and level of treatment are tailored based on how the wood will be used and its exposure to moisture or ground contact, ensuring maximum protection where it's needed most:

• The chemical treatment provides a robust defense against biological threats, significantly extending the lifespan of your outdoor projects compared to untreated wood.
  
  
• Specifically formulated to withstand exposure to rain, sun, snow, and moisture, making it ideal for the unpredictable weather in areas like Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia.
  
  
• The relatively thin 3/4-inch profile makes 1x lumber easy to cut, shape, and fasten, lending itself to a wide variety of construction and decorative applications.
  
  
• While the initial cost is higher than untreated lumber, its exceptional resistance means less frequent repairs and replacements, saving you time and money over the life of your project.
  
  
• As a standard building material, 1x treated lumber is readily available in various widths and lengths from AW Graham Lumber.
  
  
• Once properly dried, treated lumber can be painted or stained to achieve your desired aesthetic, offering design flexibility for any outdoor build.
  
  

Ideal projects using 1x treated lumber:

• Fencing: Use 1x treated boards for durable pickets that resist rot from moisture and ground contact.
  
  
• Deck Railings and Balusters: The thinner profile is excellent for building weather-resistant railing components and decorative balusters.
  
  
• Raised Garden Beds: Construct sturdy bed walls that withstand constant contact with moist soil without decaying.
  
  
• Sheds and Outbuildings: Ideal for siding, trim, and internal elements requiring protection from moisture and pests.
  
  
• Planter Boxes: Build long-lasting planter boxes that endure the elements and soil moisture.
  
  
• Exterior Trim and Fascia: A rot-resistant option for exterior finishing touches that can be painted to match.
  
  
• Secondary Framing/Bracing: Suitable for subtle structural elements or bracing where a thinner board is needed (note: larger dimensional lumber is typically used for primary load-bearing structures like deck beams or joists).
  
  
• Outdoor Furniture: Create durable tables, benches, and chairs that stand up to weather exposure season after season.
