IMMEDIATE

MAINTENANCE

Although pressure

treated lumber protects

against insects, rot,

and decay, a little

maintenance needs to be

performed to give you

maximum protection

against fading and

weathering. This

maintenance will help

enjoyment from your

new outdoor project.

WATER REPELLENCY

WITH A WOOD SEALER

Start by applying a

topical sealant to your

new project for surface

protection. We do not

recommend the use of a

conventional multicoat

paint system or varnish.

The performance is

repainting often has to

be preceded by scraping

and sanding. Instead,

choose an outdoor wood

sealer. Most wood

sealers may be applied

to pressure treated wood

as soon as the surface no

longer looks wet. The

sealer offers a degree of

water repellency and

color to outdoor wood,

without forming a thick

coating on the surface. It

will allow any remaining

moisture to leave wood

slowly after the coating

has been applied. Wood

sealers come in three

versions: solid stains,

semi-transparent,

and clear.

Solid Stains

It is recommended that

“solid” wood sealers,

which have more

pigment, be used only

on vertical projects such

as fences and siding. If

used on decking,

will wear through the pigment unevenly. Semi-transparent Sealants This type of wood sealant is suitable for vertical or horizontal surfaces such as deck boards, rails, siding and playground equipment. There are several brands available which come in many colors. Clear Sealants This type of sealant has no pigment or color. It will still give some protection from the weather, although wood fading will occur more rapidly than sealants with color.
