Painting and Wood Staining or Natural Weathering

Preserve lumber can be painted or stained to match any outdoor color scheme. High quality oil and latex-based paints and stains are recommended. Water repellent coatings can be applied to improve the weathering lumber performance. Left uncoated or with clear water repellent coatings, Preserve will initially weather to a natural brown color, eventually turning gray following long-term exposure to the sun.

It is important to ensure that the wood is dry and free from surface deposits prior to applying any coating.

Nails, Fasteners and Fittings for Wood & Lumber

Hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel fasteners and fittings are recommended for Preserve Treated Lumber. Anti-corrosion coatings applied to fasteners and fittings in contact with treated wood will enhance long-term lumber performance. Direct contact of Preserve treated wood with aluminum fasteners and fittings is not recommended.
