Back to the Classics: The Enduring Popularity of Pressure-Treated Decks
Nobody can deny the beauty and classic elegance of wood. The combination of color, texture, and grain all work together to create the uniqueness that wood brings to a back deck, porch, or fence. It’s no wonder pressure-treated wood has been an attractive and popular choice for decades. A plentiful resource, pressure-treated wood also lasts a long time when properly treated with a water repellent every couple of years.
What is Pressure-Treated Wood?
Pressure-treated wood is a Southern Yellow Pine that goes through a process where it is actually penetrated with a chemical, giving it longevity and rot resistance. The wood is placed in a depressurized holding tank that removes the air and replaces it with a chemical preservative to protect it from harmful rot, fungal growth, and insects.
Other Benefits of Pressure-Treated Wood
Compared to natural wood, pressure-treated lumber will last far longer in any environment where it is exposed to the elements or consistent moisture. Pressure-treated lumber is natural and beautiful and is often mimicked by manufactured backyard materials, which may be more expensive. Plus unlike concrete or pavers, it’s soft underfoot.
