What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the treated lumber for exceptional durability and weather resistance in outdoor projects like decks, fences, and pergolas. Most highlight consistent quality and straightness when boards are carefully selected, with many noting reliable performance against rot and moisture exposure. However, some report inconsistent board condition, including warping and excessive moisture upon arrival that requires acclimation. Despite these drawbacks, most customers find the lumber's core benefits outweigh variability concerns and return for future projects.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Warped boards delivered
DO NOT order lumber, esp. pressure treated, for delivery because apparently workers cannot select boards unless they are warped. We paid for delivery because we needed 16-foot 2x6s and had no way to transport anything that length. Badly warped on both ends. Needless to say, we now have no way to return them.
Straight as a board!
The boards are beautiful and they make my bridge look so good!
