| Pressure treated
wood is a wonderful improvement over untreated lumber. The treatment
process makes wood resistant to termites and decay. In fact, the
standard warranty states that the wood will resist termites and decay
for as long as the original homeowner actually owns the house. However,
there are several levels of pressure treatment offered. What you choose
depends on your planned use of the wood.
Standard .25
treatment, used on most fence panels, is guaranteed as above so long as
the pickets do not touch the ground. Standard .40 treatment can touch
the ground and retain its warranty. All posts are treated to .40.
Sunbelt Forest
Products offers the finest fence components available. All pickets are
treated to .40 lbs. per cubic foot of ACQ
chemical blended with the PreservePlus
Water Repellent addiitive. PreservePlus
is a wax-like additive that significantly reduces the tendency of wood
to warp and crack. The fence keeps its good looks. And - you can put it
right on the ground! The product has a three way warranty - to resist
termites, to resist decay, and to retain its water repellency for 50
years.
You want to have
the best fence possible. Think about it! If and when you decide to sell
your home, a PreservePlus
fence will still look like an asset, not like something in need of
replacement.
