[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3981417, member: 15054"] I bought severe weather pressure treated Pine fence panels from Lowes about 4 years ago and almost every board curled at the bottom and many bowed at the tops. Looks HORRIBLE. I fell for the Severe weather Pressure treated gimmicky name. That stands for Green not kiln dried Dog Crap. Cimmaron Pottery went out of business years ago West of Yukon. An add in the paper everything in the old warehouse must go and for free. I collected enough shipping crates 12 foot by 4 foot to make a LOT of fence. This stuff was not treated. I put it up in the year 2000 and 99% of it is still just fine. I did paint roll used transmission fluid on it and this keeps any ants or termites from eating it and helps it live. I will never buy another pressure treated board. I have bought single 1x6 by 8 foot pressure treated boards and made a nice fence and it all warped also. I like to lay bricks or pavers under my fences to let them have something to rest on. You can get quality used fence on craigslist for cheaper than new and get cedar. I got a huge stack of cedar panels a couple years ago for 15 bucks a panel. All season hardware store on 152 had Redwood panels for $56 a few years ago and I got a few trailer loads of those but as it goes No more of those. They were very nice and all of them i put up look great. I hate treated pine. [/QUOTE]
