Tanalised wood--how deep does the preservative penetrate?
I am putting up a tanalised shed but I want to make the roof a bit
wider and longer, for more of an overhang, and put up a fascia board to support gutters, and I want to add wider decorative trim on the corners. I want to use tanalised woof for all these things but the choice of wood where I live is very limited. So I thought I might get, say, a 3 inch square length of tanalised and use the table saw to cut thinner lengths. Or I could plane down a 1" thick board....anyway, would that work? I don't know if the pressure-treatment goes all through the wood or if newly cut edges would be as prone to rotting as ordinary softwood. The local timber yard sells feather edge boards that would be good (if cut narrower) to make the decorative trim for the corners of the shed. With that thinner wood (max about 1/2 inch) be pretty much sure to be treated all the way through? |
