Some woods have preservatives already built in at the lumber mill and others are added in on site. As Deck and Fence builders we have always used Cuprinol 10 as an additional preservative on all of our cut ends. This is where moisture is wicked up and the wood splits or cracks.

is easy cleanup. 1 gallon covers approx 200 square ft. and comes in a variety of sizes and containers for the home owner just doing a small job, or the professional who uses it in bulk size containers. Contains the same product as the old Cuprinol which is Copper Naphthenate, go figure. Another good one to check out is Wolman's Wood Preservative.
