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.

Use treated wood before it dries.

Would Recommend

I love the wood, but I noticed if you don’t use it correctly, ie before it dries it will bend, making it harder cut and install.

Be cautious when buying, warped boards everywhere.

Good value, but a lot of twisted boards to sift thru in stack.

Wood afternoon, a poem

It was a good wood, split into two, capped off the railings, now we are through, if I had to again, and I very may will, I’ll trust this good wood, add it to the bill.

Examine the packaging before you buy.

Would Recommend

The packaging was confusing as I thought a 12-pack would be 12 of 1x1s. The 1x1s are cut in half equaling 12 ct. They work fine for my temporary garden greenhouse.
