How to Pick the Right Treated Lumber for Your Deck

Thank you very much! The analogy between a bowl and the tree rings is great to demonstrate how the tree rings facing up will hold water.

Thanks for the complement.

So hard to find decent treated lumber. Stuff is usually soaking wet, heavy, and have 3/8" - 1/2" thick growth rings. Just garbage! I used a lumber yard this time, and it was just as bad as the blue store and the orange store.

I really do go through the whole stack sometimes and leave with 5 or 6 boards. you really have to plan ahead.
