What Customers Are Saying
The pressure-treated lumber is generally considered a durable and high-quality product suitable for outdoor projects like fencing, decking, and landscaping. Many customers report the lumber is straight, sturdy, and has a uniform color and grain. However, some issues were noted, such as occasional warping or twisting as the wood dries, and the need to carefully inspect each piece. A few customers also received wet or moldy lumber. Overall, the lumber seems to work well for most outdoor applications, but buyers should be prepared to sort through the selection to find the best pieces.

Lowe's employee loaded my lumber on a cart and brought it out to my truck and loaded it into my truck. I was especially grateful because I forgot my gloves and don't like handling pressure treated lumber without gloves.

Why is it called a 4x4 if that’s not the size?
Not 4x4 it’s actually 3.5x3.5

Need 9-foot option
A nine footer would’ve been better. For a 6-foot fence to leave 3 feet in the ground.

Good lumber comparable to my local lumber yards.
Used for a shed foundation. One start off because a couple of the pieces had a little twist to them, but otherwise good for a solid foundation.
