PLAN

Picket Fence Planter

Consumer information approved by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency For Inorganic

Arsenical Pressure Treated Wood.

WHENEVER YOU BUILD WITH

TREATED WOOD PRODUCTS FROM

GEORGIA-PACIFIC, BUILD CORRECTLY.

Whatever you build with Georgia-Pacific treated wood prod-

ucts should last a long time. So, it makes good sense to build

in a craftsmanlike manner. Here are some helpful tips to make

your job easier and look better.

CONSUMER INFORMATION

This wood has been preserved by pressure-treatment

with an EPA-registered pesticide containing inorganic arsenic

to protect it from insect attack and decay. Wood treated with

inorganic arsenic should be used only where such protection

is important.

Inorganic arsenic penetrates deeply into and remains in

the pressure-treated wood for a long time. Exposure to inorganic

arsenic may present certain hazards. Therefore, the following pre-

cautions should be taken both when handling the treated wood

and in determining where to use or dispose of the treated wood.

USE GALVANIZED FASTENERS.

Use galvanized or stainless nails, screws, or bolts

when working with pressure treated wood. These types of

fasteners are corrosion-resistant and should minimize rust

stains on your project.

USE SITE PRECAUTIONS

Wood pressure-treated with waterborne arsenical

preservatives may be used inside residences as long as all

sawdust and construction debris are cleaned up and disposed

of after construction. Do not use treated wood under circum-

stances where the preservatives may become a component of

food or animal feed. Examples of such sites would be structures

or containers for storing silage food.

Do not use treated wood for cutting-boards or countertops.

Only treated wood that is visibly clean and free of surface

residue should be used for patios, decks, and walkways.

Do not use treated wood for construction of those portions

of beehives which may come into contact with the honey.

Treated wood should not be used with public drinking

water, except for uses involving incidental contact such as

docks and bridges.

NAIL BARK SIDE UP.

Always nail boards bark side up

(annual rings arc upward) to

reduce cupping. Nail thin

boards to thicker boards to

maintain structural integrity.

Treated Lumber

DRILL PILOT HOLES.

Especially when nailing near the edge or end

of a board, it’s a good idea to drill pilot holes

for your fasteners.

BUTT BOARDS TIGHTLY.

Butt decking boards together firmly. As drying occurs,

some shrinkage can be expected.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Dispose of treated wood by ordinary trash collection or bur-

ial. Treated wood should not be burned in open fires or in stoves,

fireplaces, or residential boilers because toxic chemicals may be

produced as part of the smoke and ashes. Treated wood from

commercial or industrial use (e.g., construction sites) may be

burned only in commercial or industrial incinerators or boilers in

accordance with state and Federal regulations.

Avoid frequent or prolonged inhalation of sawdust from

treated wood, When sawing and machining treated wood, wear

a dust mask. Whenever possible, these operations should be

performed outdoors to avoid indoor accumulations of airborne

sawdust from treated wood.

When powersawing and machining, wear goggles to protect

eyes from flying particles. Gloves can provide extra protection

against splinters and freshly treated wet wood. Allow freshly treat-

ed wet wood to dry thoroughly before handling. Follow good per-

sonal hygiene practices in the shop and on the job. After working

with the wood, and before eating, drinking, and use of tobacco

products, wash exposed areas thoroughly. If preservatives or

sawdust accumulates on clothes, launder before reuse. Wash

work clothes separately from other household clothing.

APPLY A

WEATHER-RESISTANT FINISHÉ

Any exposed wood, pressure treated or not, should be pro-

tected from the weather. Application of a finish coat of clear

water repellent or semi-transparent stain will help to minimize

warping, checking, or splitting. The finish coat should be

applied to pressure treated wood as soon as it is dry to the

touch, and immediately to untreated wood. (Option: stain or

water repellent may be applied when the wood is surface dry.)

Treated Lumber

The best treated lumber you can buy,

from the name you trust.
