Walls

• The sole (bottom) plate of walls sitting on concrete must be treated as well as wood attached vertically to block or concrete.
  
  

Decks

• Treated lumber is often used for decks. It is very durable, resists rot and is less expensive than other options.
  
  

Play Sets

• Play sets are exposed to constant weather and are a good fit for treated wood.
  
  

Retaining Walls

• Treated lumber is used for making retaining walls because it also holds up well below ground.
  
  

Bathroom Sub-floors

• Treated plywood is often installed as a sub-floor in bathrooms which are often damaged by water when non-treated wood is used.
  
  

Fences

• Many different styles of sectional fences can be purchased from your local lumber yard or you can piece one together yourself. Treated lumber doesn't have to be painted.
