pressure-treated wood
Chemically protected timber
Pressure-treated wood is lumber that has been infused with chemical preservatives under high pressure, making it resistant to rot, insects, and decay.
The process forces preservatives deep into the wood fibers, extending its lifespan for outdoor use: The deck is built with pressure-treated wood.
Common for fences, decks, and landscaping structures where wood contacts soil or moisture.
