Is the wood you use treated against termites?

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Is the wood you use treated against termites? We have a big problem here in South FL with bugs, pests, etc.

We have been shipping to South Florida for ten years without any termite or decay issues.

To avoid problems with termites or decay for outdoor year-round use do not order our less expensive wood grades, Douglas-fir or Redwood.

We recommend the Mature or the Old-Growth Redwood grades for Florida’s moist weather. The Mature Redwood will easily last 20 years or more. Termites do not eat the Mature Redwood because of its naturally high concentration of tannins. Our very best wood grade, the Old-Growth, has a 30-year decay warranty.
