Hi, Thank you for this Excellent informative video on pressure treatment. My question, I am here in Europe with a much 'wetter' atmosphere at certain times of the year. You stated that the moisture content is checked before treatment to ensure that the wood is not too wet. Could I ask you what is the high limit of percentage moisture content which you will accept before allowing treatment? I understand that the value may differ for different woods. But for typical softwoods like pine etc, and hardwoods like ash and Oak etc. Thanks & best regards, Seán

is the pressure treatment process the same for both ground-contact rated and above-ground lumber?
@VianceTreatedWood Жыл бұрын
Generally yes; however, how long it is pressurized in the cylinder may vary depending on preservatives used, wood species and other factors.

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.

@@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.

Why did you show a piece of wood that was treated with a water sealer at the end and showed it repelling water? Your treatment does not repel water.

Will the wood revert back to its pre-treatment dimensions when it has dried after 1 year?

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

So funny if anyone thinks that what's said is true fact. First, they're not particularly diligent about checking moisture prior to treatment (19% is pretty high and will inhibit take-up anyway). Second, if you'll notice they tag the wood prior to treatment - before they've done quality control that attempts to confirm proper treatment. Third, the treatment is only superficial it is definitely not deeply penetrating and it's not like they adjust their process to every variation in wood density that arrives at their plant. In summary, it's a load of marketing BS.
