Field Treating

Field treating end cuts and drill holes during construction is critical to maintain the protective qualities of the wood. During pressure treatment, preservatives are infused into wood cells to create a protective shell. Cutting and drilling holes exposes parts of the wood that were not treated with preservatives, increasing the opportunities for decay fungi or insects to deteriorate the wood. Properly treating end cuts and drill holes in pressure treated wood, with a field treatment product or end-cut product, enhances the durability of the wood.
