Need help warping of pressure treated wood fence
OK, I just built a fence out of pressure treated wood (the crap from
Home Depot which is not redried) a couple of weeks ago. It's an infill type fence using the rough hewn dog-eared slats cut to about 5-6 feet long held in only at the top and bottom, no middle cross beam. Anyway, within several days huge gaps developed between the slats, presumably as they dried. I can deal with that. What I can't deal with is warping and twisting, which has also happened. My questions to you guys with pressure treated wood experience: 1. Can I avoid shrinkage, warping, and twisting if I use special pressure treated + redried wood and immediately stain it, or does redried wood also shrink and warp to some extent? 2. Will I avoid shrinkage, warping, and twisting if I use the non re-dried wood from HD and immediately seal it (even though it's wet) with sealers approved for immediate sealing, like Wolman's "raincoat?", or will it still shrink etc? Thanks in advance |
