What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise pressure-treated lumber for outdoor projects like fencing, decking, and raised beds, noting it performs reliably when straight pieces are selected. Most find the price reasonable and appreciate stock availability and in-store service. However, many report encountering warped, cracked, or knotted boards requiring careful hand-picking to find usable lumber. A smaller group expresses frustration with overall quality and moisture content. Despite physical condition challenges, most customers consider the product worthwhile for outdoor construction when properly selected.

Best to hand pick your own lumber

Would Recommend

Most pieces selected by the employees were good, some had BIG knots and some "shaved" edges with bark still on them.

Good for the job that required this wood

Would Recommend

Boards worked just fine. Always be careful when choosing your two by fours for the job. When you get the chance to go through the prime ones, you can find nice boards to do the work you need to do.

You can use a little tricky to straighten them out

Would Recommend

It’s nice to have the opportunity to use a 2 x 2. It’s just hard to keep them or get them straight. Nature of the product and of the tree cut.
