What Is Pressure-Treated Lumber?
Pressure-treated lumber is infused with preservatives for outdoor durability. See how Brookside Farm uses it in trellises, planters, and furniture.
Pressure-treated lumber is wood that has been infused with preservatives under pressure so it resists rot, insects, and ground contact better than untreated softwoods. It is a common choice for outdoor structures that see rain, snow, and soil.
Many of our garden trellises and planters are built from pressure-treated lumber so they can last for years in MetroWest Massachusetts gardens. Always follow safe handling guidance for treated wood, and allow outdoor pieces to weather or finish as recommended for your project.
