Features & Benefits
SPF/SYP Lumber is one of the most abundant and sustainable building materials on planet earth. In North America, it is harvested from some of the largest forests in the world. Less than a third of 1% of available SPF lumber is harvested in a given year, and it is managed and administrated by third-party organizations that ensure and protect its long-term sustainability.
Commonly used in structural applications such as framing for residential and commercial buildings, our SYP Treated Dimensional Lumber is also well suited for outdoor projects like decks and fences. The treatment process involves pressure-treating the lumber with preservatives, which ensures deep penetration of the chemicals into the wood fibers, providing long-lasting protection against environmental factors. SYP treated dimension lumber offers builders and homeowners a reliable and cost-effective solution for constructing sturdy and resilient structures that withstand the test of time and weather conditions.
SYP (Southern Yellow Pine) treated lumber is a popular choice in construction due to its durability and resistance to decay and insects. Treated with chemical preservatives, SYP lumber provides enhanced protection against moisture, rot, and pests, making it suitable for outdoor applications such as decks, fences, and landscaping structures. Its affordability and widespread availability further contribute to its appeal in the building industry. However, it’s essential to handle and use SYP treated lumber with caution, following safety guidelines provided by manufacturers to minimize exposure to chemicals and ensure long-term structural integrity.

Most importantly, fire treated wood can save lives. Its treatment process helps to prevent combustion which delays fire and smoke spread. This delay gives occupants more time to safely exit the building and fire crews more time to control the fire. Additionally, fire treated wood can be a more cost effective way to meet code, and can lower insurance rates.
Always defer to your local code and building inspector first, but fire treated lumber should be used in applications where a 1 or 2 hour fire protection is required. For wooden structures, this mostly falls in the Type III construction class. Generally speaking, you’ll find fire treated lumber used in 5 story multi-family framing, row town homes, and commercial buildings.
