[QUOTE="Fencer, post: 396197, member: 1781"] And how does one "re-treat" lumber? The preservative is pressure cooked into the wood so it is permeated throughout. You can paint it, stain it, but not treat it. I have a problem with easily outlasting. This is very determanant on environmental conditions of your area and the mantanence it receives. The structural lumber is a larger diameter/thickness than the deck boards hence a longer time to decay to the same point(e.g. if something is an inch thick and it decays 1/16 an in a year, its life expectancy is 16 years, how long would the 4 inch piece last?) Most folks move every 3-5 years and a lot more in 15 years. How long do you plan to be there? And as I told one of my customers who asked about building a composite fence. for the price diff you could build another new one in 15 years and still save money. That sheet is expensive. [/QUOTE]
