Industrial Treated Wood Products
Farm and Agricultural Wood Products
There are solid reasons why wood remains an ideal material to use in agricultural construction. It is widely available, has a higher ratio of strength to stiffness than steel or concrete; has greater resistant to electrical charges than metal and is easy to work. Wood also has a relatively high insulation value and, when used as siding, may help reduce heating bills. Furthermore, wood is the only major building material that's renewable. It also requires less energy to produce than other building products.
But modern technology has increased the need for a more durable wood, such as WolmanizedŽ pressure-treated wood, with the ability to help combat the insect exposure and deterioration that occurs in barns, utility sheds, plant stakes and wagons.
Wolmanized® pressure treated wood also resists decay-producing fungi in stables, splash boards, greenhouses and laying parlors.
This wood even helps withstand other similar problems encountered because of the controlled atmosphere necessary to endure summer's heat or winter's cold in milk plants, cold storage warehouses, fruit storage buildings and tobacco storage buildings.
Fences, gates and retaining walls built with Wolmanized® pressure-treated lumber have created strong, long lasting barriers that have stood up to pressure from livestock, soil and weather conditions.
Although WolmanizedŽ pressure-treated lumber's primary strength lies in its resistant qualities, it also has other advantages:
- Wolmanized® lumber by Cox is clean and can be easily painted
- Wolmanized® lumber by Cox is odor-free, oil-free and easy to handle
- Wolmanized® lumber by Cox is so durable that it may well outlast conventional hardware.
- Wolmanized® lumber by Cox is inert; it should not affect shingles or tar paper.
