Pressure treated wood

Exterior decks and walks

If you have any type of outdoor structure around your home - a fence, a deck, a gazebo -

chances are it was constructed in whole or in part using pressure-treated lumber. In fact, someof the components in your house, such as sill plates and other structural members that aredirectly in contact with concrete, are also made from pressure-treated lumber.

Treated lumber has been around for decades, and is generally considered to be a very safeproduct. Recently, however, some controversy has arisen around CCA - Chromated Copper

Arsenate - one of the most common chemical compounds used in the pressure-treating process. As a result, on February 12, 2002, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced avoluntary decision by the pressure-treatment industry to move away from CCA to other types of preservatives by the end of 2003. By January 2004, CCA-treated lumber - which currentlyaccounts for about 90 percent of the pressure-treated materials on the consumer market - will nolonger be available for residential use.

CCA is a blend of three chemicals: Chromium, which binds the chemicals to the wood fibers;Copper, which makes wood decay-resistant and also acts as a pesticide for certain types of insects; and Arsenate, a derivative of arsenic, which acts as a pesticide to stop wood-destroyinginsects.

The EPA has long maintained - and continues to do so today - that CCA-treated wood iscompletely safe. However, in light of some data that indicates arsenic may leach out of the woodand become a potential source of soil and ground water contamination, they have deemed itprudent to reduce this potential as much as possible.

What's taking its place?

Even with the removal of CCA from the residential marketplace (it will still be used in somecommercial applications), pressure-treated lumber will still be readily available in lumberyardsand home centers. The only difference will be new chemical compounds used in the treatmentprocess - and an estimated 10 to 20 percent jump in price.

Two new compounds will be, at least for the time being, the preservatives of choice for pressure-treating lumber. The most common is ACQ - Amine Copper Quat - which will still utilize copper asits primary ingredient. Gone will be the chromium and arsenic, which are being replaced by asolution of ammonia. Manufacturers state that ACQ-treated lumber will look very much the sameas CCA-treated wood, with perhaps a slightly browner color.

The second, copper-azole, has been used in Europe and Japan for some time but is fairly new in

the United States. As with ACQ, copper-azole compounds do not contain any chemicals that arelisted with the EPA as carcinogens, and are in fact utilized by some growers for the treatment of fruit. Wood treated with copper-azole will have a slightly greenish tint that manufacturers sayweathers to a brownish tone.

Three manufacturers are currently moving to market with these next generation pressure-treatedwoods. These include "NatureWood" and "Preserve," both of which use ACQ for theirpreservative, and Wolman's "Natural Select," which is currently the only product using copper-azole compounds.


51/54

What about th e CCA-treated stuff I already have?

The EPA has stated repeatedly that CCA-treated wood "does not pose any unreasonable risk tothe public or the environment." As such, the EPA is not recommending that you do anything withcurrently existing structures made with pressure-treated lumber containing CCA.

Since it was the potential risk to children that was of primary concern to the industry and thathelped prompt the voluntary changeover, the EPA does offer a few common-sense tips fordealing with CCA-treated lumber. These include not burning treated wood, keeping food out of direct contact with it, and thoroughly washing hands after working with treated lumber or playingon structures that are built with it. For even more protection, you can coat CCA-treated lumberwith exterior paint or exterior clear sealants.

Update: Because of the hardware corrosion concerns (fasteners corroding) of ACQ, the chemicalformulation for pressure treatment has been changed to MCQ, which has been shown to havethe same hardware corrosion potential as CCA.

For more information, check with your lumber dealer or visit the EPA Web site at www.epa.gov.

MCQ Snapshot

The Micronized Copper Quaternary (MCQ) wood preserving (pressure treating) treatment combines thewell-established effectiveness of copper and an organic quaternary compound in an inventive approach tothe pressure treatment process. By capturing copper in sub-micron sized particles and suspending them insolution before applying them to wood by pressure treatment, the performance of MCQ treated lumber isenhanced while providing protection against rot, fungal decay and termite attack.

MCQ preservatives are available in #2 grade Southern Yellow Pine and South American Pine species.Approved uses include:

Above Ground 5/4" Decking & Specialties (0.15 pcf sapwood species and 0.25 pcf heartwood species),

Above Ground General Use (0.25 pcf for sapwood and heartwood species ),

And Ground Contact (0.40 pcf for sapwood and heartwood species) and Fresh Water Contact.

The MCQ preservatives used in the MicroPro process are registered by the EPA as a non-restricted usepesticide and do not require Proposition 65 labeling in California. YellaWood brand products with MCQpreservatives as described in ICC-ES legacy report NER-628 are building code compliant.

Treatment Type: Micronized Copper Quaternary Protection from rot, fungal decay and termite attack: Yes Fence Warranty: Limited 15 Year

Above Ground Warranty: Lifetime Residential & Agricultural Limited Ground Contact/Fresh Water Contact Warranty: Lifetime Residential & Agricultural Limited Paintable/Stainable: Yes ICC/NER: #628 EPA Approval: Yes Building Code Compliant: Yes Corrosion Characteristics: Similar to CCA treated and untreated wood Aluminum Contact: Yes

Southeast CarpentryNovember 28, 2007 revised

Westwood Unit #407 Carpentry

1. Back deck Remove existing stucco divider wall between the #407 and #406 deck. Build a shadow box

privacy fence in its place, keeping the same size/shape. Keep the full picket fence at the deck perimeter; replace any rotted boards. Replace all deck floor boards with 2x6 PT. Run a new 2x8 support beam (bolted to the support posts) under the outside band (header

joist) supporting the deck. Includes the #406 side. Install support blocks under the 2x6 floor joists. Trim the joist tails to 6 The round posts for the back deck are OK. Keep the floor trap door on the #407 side.

2. Side deck and walk Replace round posts as needed using 6x6 PT posts, 9 count. Shore up the framing under the decking. Install 4x4 support post as needed to support

unsupported floor joist joints. Install a new double 2x6 header joist. Install 1x4 pickets (with 1 gaps between the pickets) on the handrail short walls. Replace all deck boars with 2x6s. Replace 2x4 short wall horizontal framing (bottom rail, mid rail and top rail) as needed. Includes the handrail/short walls on the inside, next to the building. Rebuild two trash can enclosures with solid 1x4 walls. Repair the source of the sag in the floor nest the first trash bin, adding a support post with

framing if needed. Replace one corner post on the unit #406 front door deck. Replace the 2x6 short wall top rail cap as needed.

3. Notes Does not include repairs to the #406 decking except as noted. Wood: for all above ground applications use locally available #2 pressure-treated .25 MCQ

pine lumber. For all ground contact applications use locally available #2 pressure-treated.40 MCQ pine lumber.

Fasteners: use 4-5 galvanized lag screws or bolts for the framing-to-post joints. Use 12-16dhot-dipped galvanized common nails for framing. Use 3 galvanized or treated deckingscrews for all new deck flooring.

Includes a building permit. Does not include general wood rot repairs to the other woodwork on the building, i.e. siding,

trim, doors, fascia, soffits, corner boards, etc. We will pile up the construction debris at a location chosen by the homeowners association

and the debris will be hauled off by others.
