All of our timber comes fully pressure treated to protect against eventual rot and
mold that can occur with untreated wood. There are multiple precise steps, but the
result is a high-quality product that lasts much longer than untreated or
dip-treated wood. During the treatment process, the timber is dried naturally using
a kiln or airflow. All moisture is removed from the wood which preps it for the next
step. Soon after, the timber is placed in a pressure treatment tank where a vacuum
is used to remove all of the air. The tank is filled with a wood preservative, and
once the timber has been treated for a sufficient amount of time the liquid is then
removed via vacuum. Ultimately, it’s the low pressure of the timber that draws in
the preservatives deep into the grain, thus creating a fully treated end product.
Typically, you can identify pressure treated timber by its green tinge finish.
Pressure treated timber also stands up amazingly well against the weather,
increasing its longevity. Keep in mind that if you saw or cut away a strip of
pressure treated wood, you should immediately coat the exposed ends with a
high-quality preservative.
When it comes to sheds, there are dozens of choices that vary by durability, design,
and other factors. Whether it’s an apex shed, wooden garden shed with shiplap
cladding or a tall garden shed, there are so many advantages to your building being
pressure treated. All wooden buildings benefit from pressure treatment, from corner
summer houses, garden rooms and garden offices to even bike sheds and dog kennels.
