The West Fraser Difference

  • Our treated wood is almost entirely supplied by our on-site sawmills.
  • Proprietary radius edge and grade on all our 2×4 & 2×6
  • More consistent lumber
  • On-site production means less diesel fuel burned to transport the raw lumber and means less lumber wrap wasted

Nails, Fasteners and Connectors

For the best results, the use of building-code approved, corrosion-resistant fasteners and connectors is always recommended for all exterior wood projects. Direct contact of Preserve treated wood with aluminum products is not recommended. Hot-dipped galvanized fasteners (meeting ASTM A 153) and connectors (meeting ASTM A653 G90 (0.90 oz./ft2)), or better, are recommended. For corrosive environments, stainless steel fasteners are recommended.

Installation and Maintenance

All cuts and holes must be liberally brush coated with an end cut preservative before wood is installed.

Handling

  • Wear gloves to protect against splinters.
  • Wear a dust mask when machining any wood to reduce the inhalation of wood dusts. Avoid frequent or prolonged inhalation of sawdust from treated wood. Machining operations should be performed outdoors whenever possible to avoid indoor accumulations of airborne sawdust.
  • Wear appropriate eye protection to reduce the potential for eye injury from wood particles and flying debris during machining.
  • Wash exposed areas thoroughly with mild soap and water after working with treated wood. If preservative or sawdust accumulates on clothes, launder before reuse. Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing.
