Pressure treated wood is a type of wood product that has been treated with a preservative to protect it from decay, rot, and insect infestation. The process involves forcing a preservative deep into the wood fibers, creating a barrier that prevents the growth of fungi and other organisms. Pressure treated wood is commonly used in outdoor applications such as decks, fences, and playground equipment. It is also used in construction, such as for foundations, posts, and beams. Pressure treated wood is more durable than untreated wood and is often less expensive. The pressure treated wood market is a subset of the larger wood and wood products industry. It is a growing market, driven by the increasing demand for outdoor living spaces and the need for durable, long-lasting materials.
