Planning a home improvement project? Consider
pressure-treated lumber from AW Graham Lumber, your trusted source in Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and Indiana. We're proud to offer a wide selection of
high-quality treated wood products, perfect for all your building needs. Why choose treated lumber? Treated lumber is wood that's been infused with a chemical preservative to protect it from rot, decay, and insect damage. This process significantly extends the wood's lifespan, making it an excellent choice for outdoor applications exposed to the elements:
- Treated wood can last for decades, even in harsh outdoor conditions, far outlasting untreated wood.
- While the initial cost may be slightly higher, its extended lifespan reduces the need for frequent replacements, making it a more economical choice over time.
- The preservatives used are toxic to termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects, safeguarding your structures from infestations.
- The treatment prevents the growth of fungi and mold, the primary causes of wood rot.
- Treated wood is available in various forms, including dimensional lumber, posts, and pre-cut components like balusters and step stringers, making it suitable for a wide range of projects.
Ideal projects with treated wood products:
- Deck Building: Use treated lumber for the deck's frame, posts, and joists. Pre-cut step stringers simplify stair construction, while treated balusters can be used for the railing system, ensuring the entire structure is resistant to rot and insects.
- Fence Installation: Dog-eared fence pickets, a common type of treated wood, are ideal for privacy fences. Treated posts and rails provide a sturdy, long-lasting framework.
- Landscaping and Garden Structures: Build raised garden beds, retaining walls, or garden trellises with treated wood. Its resistance to moisture makes it an excellent choice for projects in constant contact with soil and water.
- Outdoor Furniture: Create picnic tables, benches, or Adirondack chairs that can withstand rain and sun without decaying.
- Mailbox Posts and Other Fixtures: A treated mailbox post will resist rot and pests, ensuring it remains stable and upright for years. Similarly, treated wood can be used for signposts, light posts, or other small outdoor fixtures.
- Playsets and Swing Sets: Create a durable and safe outdoor play area for children that will stand up to years of use and exposure to the elements.
- Pergolas and Gazebos: Build beautiful and functional backyard structures that provide shade and a focal point for your outdoor living space.
- Docks and Piers: For projects that are in or near water, such as docks, piers, or bulkheads, specially treated lumber is available to resist the corrosive effects of fresh or saltwater.
