What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the pressure-treated lumber for durability and straightness when boards arrive undamaged, with many successfully completing deck framing, fence posts, and raised beds. The treatment effectively resists rot and ground contact moisture. However, a notable group reports receiving warped, twisted, or cracked boards that require extensive pile searching or warp shortly after installation. Quality remains inconsistent—some pieces excel while others prove unusable. Several mention wet or moldy lumber requiring proper drying before use. Despite these drawbacks, most customers find the lumber reliable for outdoor projects when carefully selected.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Good but wet.
It's what you would expect. Wet and mostly straight.

Nice and straight!
It was a nice straight piece, unlike some treated lumber which is warped. And I liked that it came in 8' length so it could fit in my SUV.

Why do the specs say 7.3" when it should be 7.5". All the other lumber I've seen has been on the .5"?

So in your product description, it states that it can be used for ground contact, or burial but the warranty says NOT for ground contact.
