pressure treated plywood

[jasono2l]

What is the best way to dry this stuff out. I am going to start my renovation in about a month away and I want to make sure the wood is all dried out. Should I cut after the wood dries in case it shrinks one the chemical is evaporated? Thanks.

Re: pressure treated plywood

i used lots of 2x4s

a row of 4 2x4s...piece of ply.....another row...peice if ply........and so on....

turned a blower on and cranked the wood stove....

some of it still warped.....but that was because i fast dryed it......

you can cut it first....less surface area to warp......and the edges will also be dry....

cheers

Re: pressure treated plywood

easy solution, dont use PT wood. Thats all there is too it. If you glass it in right it will be fine. And you dont have to worry about using the correct screws cause PT will mess up a lot of different types of metals.

use either marine grade, or totally encapsulate exterior grade. PT will rot also. where does a PT fence post rot off, where it gets wet and dry. they are fine if they stay wet, or dry, not both.
