pressure treated
Infused against decay
Pressure treated describes wood that has been infused with chemical preservatives under high pressure, forcing the compounds deep into the grain to resist rot, insects, and moisture.
The process extends the lifespan of lumber used outdoors—decks, fences, playground equipment.
The deck is built with pressure-treated lumber.
The hyphen is often dropped.
