Pressure-treated wood ratings

Nov 04, 2005 2 Replies

Where can I find information detailing standards for pressure-treated lumber? Looking for some minimum weathering specifications. PT Green Doug Fir vs PT Redwood, number of years in-ground before rot, number of years above ground, etc.



Does the lumber industry or any other agency publish standards like these, roughly equivalent to milspec for other materials?

Take a look at the PDF at this site, specifically, chapter 14:

Thanks. Lots of material here. Will take a while to sift through it.
