Pressure treatment is a process that forces chemical preservatives into the wood. Wood is placed inside a closed cylinder, then vacuum and pressure are applied to force the preservatives into the wood. The preservatives help protect the wood from attack by termites, other insects, and fungal decay. The best kind of pressure treated wood is Wolmanized Residential Outdoor wood, which is intended for use in landscaping, decks, gazebos, walkways and other exposed projects, which you can find in our store.
