Using Pressure Treated Lumber For A Gazebo

Most of the pressure treated timber at your nearest Lowes will be treated pine. It is mostly a light color, which can often look a little greenish after being treated. The main benefits of using treated pine start with its relatively low cost, when compared to other common lumber that are well suited for outdoor structures like red cedar. This option will give you the least expensive trellis possible. So, if the cost is your primary concern, then the call has already been made and you are going to have a pine arbor, pergola or other garden structure. There are a few other pros and cons in the decision making for most people, though. One being the impact on the environment, because the majority of treated wood, is treated with a three chemicals known as CCA, chrome, copper and arsenic, and arsenic being known to cause cancer. If you are a handy kind of character, then you will end up with this stuff in your airways after cutting, and if your little ones will be touching it then they will have it on their body too. And, don't even think about growing berries on your garden arbor that's has been treated with CCA. In the treating process, these chemicals are added to the lumber, often, when it still has very high humidity. This plays a part in the low price, because the factory doesn't have to kiln dry it, but it also might lead to some downfalls in your garden structures like gazebos. Wet wood will change in shape considerably after dried, which can result in to bowing, warping and cracking in your garden structure. Having said that, pressure treated timber is today satisfying many home owners out there that have built their decks and backyard using this as their selection.
