Why
treated wood?
In a marine environment, there are two types of organisms that
can threaten the condition of wood: fungi and marine borers. Fungi
lodges in surface cracks and fissures, then spreads throughout the
interior cellular structure of the wood, causing decay and disintegration.
Wood is especially vulnerable to fungi at or near waterline levels.
Marine
borers thrive in saltwater and brackish environments. They destroy
the structural integrity of the wood by boring into the interior
of exposed wood.
Pressure-treated
wood is not susceptible to either of these creatures because the
chemicals used in the treating process transform the wood into an
undesirable food source. And, because treated wood is safe and effective,
your project will last for years to come. Biewer Lumber is proud
to produce and offer the largest stock of treated piling in Michigan.
