Copper and arsenic. Has to be federally approved chemicals. Still won't last 5 years with ground contact.

@@thomasjefferson8629 Ok I thought that the US EPA banned arsenic, so now they just use some copper or copper sulfate type process.

lmao The places I've worked at have gone through so many tests to determine the right pressure, chemical components, and time spent in the cylinder for every type of wood that they treated with all the wood being different. don't be spouting non sense unless you can actually back it up. misinformation is never good

Lol man congratulations on being the dumb ass of the day!!!!

Yes, after it dries and can accept a stain, use either water-based or oil-based stains or paints. Oil-based stains or semi-transparent paints are recommended because solid paints in heavily traveled walkways may wear off over time.

Glad it was helpful!

Absolutely correct…..rots around the ground level. Try scorching the posts, 6” above and 12” below ground level

Need to use marine treated

Generally yes; however, how long it is pressurized in the cylinder may vary depending on preservatives used, wood species and other factors.

Thank you, Bruce, Yes, Ecolife contains no metals and is effective for above ground use against fungal decay and termite attack.

Thank you, Chris for watching our video. Contact us anytime. Info on treated wood.com.

Treated wood will expand and contract with climate, weather, and seasonal conditions. Fluctuations can vary in a single day, especially with temperature swings.

Thank you for watching the video and letting us know it was informative.

Sorry to hear this Tom. Check the end tag for the the use application and the preservative used. The wood treater who treated the wood has their location also on the end tag. Please contact them so the wood can be checked.

@@VianceTreatedWood By the time the wood has failed, the staples holding the tags have rusted out and the tags are gone. Perhaps by design?

@@tomrogers9467, most builders pull off the tags as they could be seen depending on the design of the project or pulled off if the ends are covered by fascia board. Save end tags from each of the size boards you use so you can contact the treater in the event of fungal decay or termite attack. Homeowners should clean and maintain their decks at least twice a year or more if needed, and reapply a water repellent sealer with a UV inhibitor every year or two depending on climate. This will keep the project looking good longer.

@@VianceTreatedWood I agree with what you are saying. Homeowners very seldom if ever keep records of the wood supplier, i.e. tags, and usually I was not the original contractor, so attempting any kind of warranty claim would be futile. And contractors are notorious for not end treating their cuts. If the homeowner is not maintaining the structure as you mention, the poorly treated areas of the wood will be the first to fail. With the rising cost of wood, I am seriously leaning toward recommending the more expensive “artificial” lumber on my next project.

@@tomrogers9467 , wood prices are starting to show a downturn, but they are still high. This does make composites more attractive; however, homeowners will need to clean composites too. The price point of wood is why wood has the largest market share. Structural wood is also used in most supporting structures of decks, whether wood or composite. For new projects, have the owner save the end tags and warranty.

Hopefully prices are starting to trend downward.

The QC guy is checking penetration so the glasses are needed. He just walked in from the treating area where he had to wear the helmet and ear plugs when we filmed it.

@@VianceTreatedWood. Thank you for your reply.

​@@rt9934 Excellent question.

Ecolife treated wood has an integrated stabilizer that repels water for up to three years. However, you should apply a water repellent every two years or more often depending on climate. Wood in exterior, above ground applications will go though normal wet/dry cycles with exposures to rain, snow, sun, etc. The stabilizer also helps reduce cracking and keep boards straighter.
