6 in. x 6 in. x [Length] #2 & BTR Ground Contact Pressure-Treated Timber
Build with confidence using our #2 & Better Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) timbers. These posts are specifically treated for Ground Contact (UC4A), making them the industry standard for structural support in projects where wood meets soil or concrete.
Whether you are setting a foundation for a multi-level deck, installing a privacy fence, or building a custom pergola, these timbers offer the perfect blend of structural strength and long-term rot resistance.
Key Features
Superior Treatment: Pressure-treated with micronized copper azole (MCA) or similar advanced preservatives to protect against termite damage, fungal decay, and rot.
Ground Contact Rated: Specifically engineered for applications where the post is buried in the ground, encased in concrete, or frequently exposed to moisture.
#2 & Better Grade: Provides a high-quality appearance with limited knots, ensuring structural integrity while maintaining a classic, rugged wood aesthetic.
Southern Yellow Pine: Renowned for its unique cellular structure that allows for deep, uniform penetration of preservative protection.
Sustainable: Sourced from renewable pine forests, offering an eco-friendly alternative to composite or metal structural supports.

Seal the Cuts: Always apply a brush-on end-cut wood preservative to any surfaces exposed by sawing or drilling to maintain the warranty and protection level.
Hardware: Use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel fasteners and connectors to prevent corrosion caused by the treatment chemicals.
