Frequently Asked Questions
On the life of treated wood, painting it, using it in gardens, pole classes and shipping.
How long does treated wood last?
It depends on the conditions of use. Untreated pine in contact with the ground starts to rot within a few years, while pine treated by vacuum and pressure can serve for decades under the same conditions. Protecting cut ends and keeping water from collecting at the foot of the wood do the most to extend its life.
Can I paint treated wood?
Yes. It is enough to wait for the wood to dry after treatment; the dry surface takes paint, varnish or wood oil. Paint does not replace the treatment, but it protects the surface from the sun and lets you choose the colour you like.
Can treated rods be used in a vegetable garden?
Treated rods are widely used as supports in vineyards and vegetable gardens. The preservative is fixed inside the wood. Still, if you need to cut rods before setting them, we recommend brushing preservative onto the cut and not mixing the sawdust into the garden soil.
What do the letters H, O and A on poles mean?
The letters are the pole's thickness class: H light, O medium, A heavy. For poles of the same length, the higher the class, the larger the top and butt diameters and the more load the pole carries. The diameter limits of each class are defined in TS EN 14229 and appear in the table on the product pages.
What should I watch for when choosing roof timber in a snowy region?
Have the sections worked out for the snow load, keep the rafter spacing tight and use treated pieces at eaves and valleys where water gathers. If you send the list your carpenter has worked out, we will saw the timber to those sizes.
