PRESSURE-TREATED LUMBER
Garden & Outdoor Ideas

Many Great Outdoor ideas start here: "...let's build a deck!"

Quite simply, the floor of an outdoor livingroom-a new deck-can be an elaborate multilevel expanse or simply an attractive, comfortable retreat with built-in seating, with maybe a planter or two.

Whatever the design, pressure-treated Southern Pine lumber is the ideal choice for your new deck or deck addition. Available in a wide variety of grades and sizes, CCA-treated Southern Pine is easy to work, and can be painted or stained, just like untreated wood. In fact, CCA-treated lumber delivers all the favorable properties of wood, plus a bonus: it resists decay and termite attack even in the most severe exposures.

Treated Pine Around the Garden

Pressure-Treated Southern Pine is so easy to work and finish that you're likely to design as you build. The planter/bench can take on hundreds of design possibilities. Creative landscaping offers more opportunities to showcase durable CCA-treated Southern Pine. The preservative treatment is highly resistant to leaching and will not harm plants or vegetables.

Build it for the Children (...or maybe the grandchildren.)

This simple kiddy pool/playdeck (plan #816) provides many summers of backyard fun. The bench is handy storage for playthings. Remove the vinyl liner and convert the pool area to a sandbox. All children should have one - a playhouse (plan #810) where grown-ups aren't allowed and a child can dream ambitious dreams in a setting that belongs to them alone. Come on and build one for the children today.
