Pro Tips
- Confirm the correct grade and treatment level for your application per local building code. Pressure-treated lumber grades vary by intended use (above-ground, ground-contact, below-grade).
- Use ACQ-compatible fasteners (hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel) with pressure-treated lumber. Standard fasteners corrode in contact with treatment chemicals.
- Allow pressure-treated lumber to dry before staining or painting. Fresh-from-the-supplier treated lumber is typically too wet to accept finish -- wait 2-4 weeks or test with a moisture meter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I stain pressure-treated lumber?
Yes, but the wood must be dry enough to absorb the stain. Fresh treated lumber is too wet -- wait 2-4 weeks after purchase and test a small area before staining the entire project.
What is the difference between above-ground and ground-contact treatment?
Ground-contact treatment uses a higher concentration of preservative for direct soil or water contact. Above-ground treatment is for decks, railings, and structures that do not touch the ground. Using above-ground treated lumber in ground contact voids the treatment warranty.
