Treated refers to wood that has had a preservative applied to prevent deterioration when it is subjected to conditions that are conducive to rot. Any wood that will be in contact with the ground or outside in a wet/dry condition should be treated.Treating wood can increase its life span as much as 10 times. Benefits of treating wood include the cost savings of infrequent replacement, increased safety for structural applications, and the conservation of a natural resource.
