YES, provided the post is between 3.5 inch and 4.0 inches. Examples are mail box posts, birdhouse posts and anything else which uses the aforementioned sized wood posts.

The American Fence Association (AFA) recommends that you consult with an experienced local fence contractor (preferably an AFA member) to ensure the type of wood you choose is compatible with the soil in your area. BACK TO TOP See similar questions...

Yes. But be cautioned that Shingle Shield is designed specifically for use with three tab shingles. The installer assumes complete responsibility as to how to attach the product to a wood roof. The primary objective is to have rain water run over Shingle Shield, then onto the areas affected by fungus, moss, or algae. See similar questions...

Yes, but be aware of woods that have an inherent high level of natural oils, such as teak and kiaat. With milk paint being a water-based paint, there is an expected aversion to oil, including naturally oily woods and pre-treated timber. See similar questions...

No. Wood posts covered with PVC will only last as long as wood posts. PVC posts set in concrete will last a lifetime. See similar questions...

Although there are times when an alternative might work better, the most cost effective method of installing wood fences tends to be to set them in concrete. See similar questions...

Upgrading to steel posts was a somewhat popular option in the past but always had inherent problems (steel promotes rot in the wood). Now we are able to offer PVC posts, with a lifetime warrantee against rot, that will fit almost any wood fence style. See similar questions...

Screws cannot be hot-dipped galvanised but are generally available in stainless steel. There are other types of coated deck screws on the market for decking. See similar questions...

ft t-posts work fine. Longer posts are unnecessary because the safety fence itself can only resist light loads which generally are less than a 5 ft t-post can handle. See similar questions...

Chromated copper arsenate (CCA) for years was the most commonly used chemical to give wood decay resistance, for wood intended for use in construction. Other preservatives used are amine copper quat (ACQ), copper boron azole, copper azole (CA), acid copper chromate and copper citrate. An alternate category of chemicals are borate-based. Sodium borate and zinc borate are two available compounds. CCA, ACQ,CA and sodium borate are applied by pressure treatment. See similar questions...

Only hot-dipped galvanised or stainless steel nails should be used with CCA, CA or ACQ-treated wood. If CCA, CA or ACQ is specified, extended periods of wetting are presumably anticipated, and common nails corrode in wood under moist conditions. Electroplated galvanising is not thick enough to resist the corrosion effects under moist conditions. Stainless steel should be used in areas near salt water. See similar questions...

Any type of wood or wood waste can be used as boiler fuel, but fuels over 55% moisture are more difficult to burn and can be problematic. The best fuels are the driest, as they burn well and typically produce the least air pollution, and usually require the least energy input to produce a given unit of heat or energy. Fuels up to 65% moisture will burn and produce limited energy. With a fuel moisture content of 55% and below combustion is more efficient and boilers will run with less attention.

Accoya wood has been shown to deliver performance that exceeds that of even the most durable tropical hardwoods. It is ideal for exterior applications such as doors, window frames, garden decking, facades, cladding and sidings, boat decks and garden furniture where exposure to the elements means that dimensional stability, durability and UV resistance are important.

Finished furniture is crafted from Old Growth Redwood, Western Red Cedar, Cherry, Alder and South American hardwoods. We also offer plastic Enviro"wood", Poly"wood", Poly-Lumber and Eco-Lumber furniture manufactured from recycled materials. See similar questions...

This varies depending upon what part of the country you are in. Pressure Treated lumber is usually Hem-Fir in the West and Southern Yellow Pine in the East and South. The framing lumber is also regionally dependent. It can be Douglas-Fir, SPF (Spruce-Pine-Fir), SYP (Southern Yellow Pine) or Hem-Fir. The roof trusses can also be a variety of the same species, but will usually have msr (Machine Stress Rated) lumber for chords. See similar questions...

Small quantities of lacquers, paints and thinners are to be stored in a lockable cabinet when not in use. Bulk flammable liquids, such as paints, should be stored in a flammable liquid storage cabinet. Refer to the MSDS for disposal options. Source: Chemical Safety in Schools (1999). Department of Education and Training, Volume 2, section 3.3.2.3 Storage, page 6. Chemical Safety in Schools (1999). Department of Education and Training, Volume 2, section 3.3.3.2, page 7.

We use Western Red cedar. It has fibers, which contain oils that act as natural preservatives to help the wood resist rot, decay, and insect attack. The cedar is harvested from managed, renewable resource programs in Western Canada. Properly finished and maintained, Western Red cedar ages gracefully and endures for many years.

Pellets are 100% natural and are made from recycled sawdust. They have no additives, chemicals or perfumes. Therefore, we’re helping the environment by recycling sawdust and eliminating the need for new trees to be cut down simply to chop wood. We use a premium grade of oak hardwood to ensure first-class pellets with little or no dust. See similar questions...
