ECOWOOD GOOD FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Look for Tanalised Ecowood outdoor treated wood products at your timber and building materials merchant and remember these important tips for outdoor timber use. ® Make sure that the timber is treated to the correct hazard level for your application. The most common situations are: H3 for above ground such as decking and pergolas H4 for ground contact such as landscaping and fence posts H5 for structural application in ground contact such as house poles, engineered retaining walls, or for timber that will be in permanent fresh water contact. All end cuts, rebates, drill holes and notches should be resealed with an "in can" timber resealing product such as Tanalised® Ecoseal. It is strongly recommended that all dimensioned (sawn) timber products in outdoor situations are painted, stained or sealed for best performance and prevention of discolouration, mould and dimensional distortion. Use hot dipped galvanised steel, stainless steel or other metal fasteners of high corrosion resistance for all exterior timber applications. You will never regret the small additional cost of taking these steps when you appreciate the long term benefits of durable out door timber structures using Tanalised® Ecowood. Consult Arch Wood Protection Guarantee and Tanalised® Ecowood Frequently Asked Questions brochure for further information. Do not burn treated wood. Tanalised® Ecowood treated wood products are supplied by a number of independent manufacturers throughout Australia and New Zealand. The Australian Pesticides & Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) have ruled that from March 2006 CCA (copper chromium arsenate) preservative is not to be used to treat timber and wood products intended for certain applications such as residential decking, childrens’ play equipment, hand rails, garden furniture and picnic tables. While Arch Wood Protection strongly believe in the safety of CCA preservative for these and all other common outdoor constructiuon applications, Tanalised® Ecowood provides consumers and speciﬁers with an alternative choice, particularly for non-arsenic containing treated wood intended for outdoor and ground contact situations. Tanalised® Ecowood incorporates Tanalith® E, a copper based wood preservative that is fully compliant with the APVMA directives for applications that involve high levels of direct human contact, particularly with children. Tanalised® Ecowood has a similar appearance and resistance to decay and insects as traditional CCA treated timber. Ask your supplier or contact Arch Wood Protection for further information.
