Members MrNixon Posted May 31, 2011 Members Share Posted May 31, 2011 Treated timber? always thought that treatment was mainly for wood pests. then again im no carpenterthe wood DOES look of the treated variety, but water changes everything.

Members MrNixon Posted May 31, 2011 Members Share Posted May 31, 2011 treated lumber. how's that {censored} work? i've never tried building anything of the sort. just wondering if you need some sort of buffer, or if treated woods really stand up to the elements the way the manufacturer says it does. after a little googling, there were even more steps people take to ensure the longevity of their structures.

Members misterstomach Posted May 31, 2011 Members Share Posted May 31, 2011 most treated wood is rated as suitable for ground contact, which means you can bury and it's fine. in my experience, which is extensive, this is true. people take extra precautions, but that's 'cause they have a lot of time on their hands and need something to do. it's especially fine for a pavilion type of deal.

The 6x6 posts are sunk 3 feet down. This thing is over-built to the hilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
