Tip of the Day:
When building outdoor projects, it is best to use pressure treated lumber. The reason for this is because the treatment applied to the lumber is a safe liquid copper chemical that naturally resists wood boring insects and weather such as moisture from rain and sun damage. Pressure treated lumber ( usually Southern Yellow Pine ) is mostly used in the southern areas of the USA to keep out termites and to withstand hard sun and rain damage. Most carpenters in the northern regions of the USA also use Western red cedar, which is fine in those areas but, in the south cedar does not put up with the elements as good and the cedar will rot out quickly and even get termites. This is all based on my experience using cedar over the past 25 years here in Florida. Also, it is wise to apply a water sealer stain to any outdoor wood project you build for long term protection, after all it is wood and will rot eventually if not cared for at least every five years.
Happy building!
