WeatherShield 5/4 in. x 6 in. x 16 ft. Standard Ground Contact Pressure-Treated Pine Decking Board
2X the protection compared to Above Ground treatment. Treated for protection against fungal decay, rot and termites. Use for decks, walkways, landscaping and other outdoor projects.
Pressure-Treated Pine meets the highest grading standards for strength and appearance. This double treated Ground Contact lumber must be used for applications where treated lumber is difficult to maintain, repair or replace. Treated lumber is critical to the performance and safety of an entire system or construction such as deck joists, beams and ledger boards. An additional benefit of treated lumber is its defense against rot and insect infestation for its vast majority of applications. Southern yellow pine is responsibly manufactured, safe, and environmentally friendly when used as directed.Treated wood is typically still wet when it’s delivered to The Home Depot or job site. As it dries, you should expect slight changes in width and length. As lumber dries, it may split, cup and warp. This is more likely to occur to occur in lower-grade boards, where knots and uneven grains are already present. Each piece of lumber is unique and carries physical characteristics that may include the following: knots, warping, shrinkage, swelling and/or splitting.
- Made of pine
- Ground Contact treated lumber can be used in both Above Ground and Ground Contact exterior applications
- Backed by a lifetime limited warranty against termite infestation and rot
- 5/4 in. x 6 in. x 16 ft.
- Must use Ground Contact pressure treated lumber where lumber is at risk for poor air circulation, less than six inches from the ground, or has poor or no water drainage below the structure
- Ground Contact treated lumber should be used in tropical climates or applications likely to have prolonged contact with vegetation or leaf litter
- Ideal for a variety of general uses including exposed structures, sill plates, decks, docks, ramps and other outdoor applications
- Uniform thickness, density and appearance for stable and long lasting performance
- Hot-dip galvanized fasteners are recommended
- Individual pieces of pressure treated lumber will reference Ground Contact on the end tag
- WeatherShield includes water repellant in the treatment process
- No two pieces of lumber are the same.
- Color, grain pattern and texture will vary as well.
- Use standard grade lumber is a rustic appearance is desired with your lumber project
- Standard grade will have more natural characteristics than premium grade and the size of knots may be larger
- This lumber will contain more knots that will range in size

4 (four) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 3 and preceding 5.
4 is the smallest square number > 1, the smallest semiprime and composite number, and the 3rd highly composite number.
The number 4 is considered unlucky in many East Asian cultures.
5 (five) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number, and cardinal number, following 4 and preceding 6, and is a prime number.
Humans, and many other animals, have 5 digits on their limbs.
6 (six) is the natural number following 5 and preceding 7. It is a composite number and the smallest perfect number.
A pine is any conifer tree or shrub in the genus Pinus () of the family Pinaceae. Pinus is the sole genus in the subfamily Pinoideae.
World Flora Online accepts 187 species names of pines as current, with additional synonyms, making it the largest family among the conifers. The American Conifer Society (ACS) and the Royal Horticultural Society accept 121 species. The highest species diversity of pines is found in Mexico. Pines are widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere; they occupy large areas of boreal forest, but are found in many habitats, including the Mediterranean Basin.
The timber from pine trees is called "pine"; it is one of the most extensively used types of timber. There are currently 818 named cultivars (or trinomials) recognized by the ACS. It is a well-known type of Christmas tree.
Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.: 445 Gauge pressure (also spelled gage pressure) is the pressure relative to the ambient pressure.
Various units are used to express pressure. Some of these derive from a unit of force divided by a unit of area; the SI unit of pressure, the pascal (Pa), for example, is one newton per square metre (N/m2); similarly, the pound-force per square inch (psi, symbol lbf/in2) is the traditional unit of pressure in the imperial and US customary systems. Pressure may also be expressed in terms of standard atmospheric pressure; the unit atmosphere (atm) is equal to this pressure, and the torr is defined as 1⁄760 of this. Manometric units such as the centimetre of water, millimetre of mercury, and inch of mercury are used to express pressures in terms of the height of column of a particular fluid in a manometer.
X, or x, is the twenty-fourth letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is ex (pronounced ), plural exes.

Good but it is so expensive. The price of Engineered deck woods does not look bad since this is so expensive.
by Steve
The person that installed the boards explained that these boards were cheaper because they were lower quality, would have more knots in them, etc. Though a cheaper price/lower quality relationship would seem intuitive, I thought these were just either on sale, or a newer pricing. I didn’t realize they weren’t as good as other boards at higher prices with the exact same description. It would help to have a more specific explanation as to the quality differences between the boards on the web site for those of us that are not in the the construction business. (That said, we only bought 3 of them, and they were okay.)
