Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this lumber for ground contact? Yes, this pressure treated lumber is rated for both above-ground and ground-contact applications.

What's the difference between rough and smooth lumber? Rough lumber has a textured surface that provides better grip for fasteners and adhesives, making it ideal for furring strips and hidden applications.

Can I paint or stain rough treated lumber? Yes, but allow it to dry for 2-6 months first. The rough texture holds paint and stain well.

What fasteners should I use? Use hot-dipped galvanized, stainless steel, or coated screws and nails. Shop our galvanized screws.
