Treated lumber is a popular building material that plays a key role in the construction of many structures in the Pacific Northwest. Our good friend Dennis McWhirter is an expert on pressure-treated wood, with nearly three decades of experience in the industry. In this series, Dennis provides answers to some common questions, and reminds us why treating lumber is one of the best things we can do to help preserve our greatest renewable resource. The age-old question with treated lumber is: How long will it last? In today’s video, Dennis sheds light on that question. Here’s a recap of our conversation:

They were used for decking a roof and after nailing and screwing them down to the trusses most of them were okay but their were still a few of them that just stayed bowed No matter how many nails or screws I used. There was a small rain storm the day after we got the decking done and the next day 3 sheets came apart and swelled up very badly so I had to tear them off of the roof and go back to the store and purchase 3 replacements and reinstall them. I took a couple pics and a couple days later when I was back at the same HD I asked about getting a refund for just those 3 sheets and the manager on duty said that I had to bring the old ones back. I explained that they were in pieces because I had to tear them off and they fell apart. She said No old ones No refund. You would think that they would of refunded me for those 3 but NOPE. I included a pic. I am building a new house and have spent Thousands at that store but I guess that means Nothing.
