Veelgestelde vragen

Is pressure-treated timber safe?

Yes, modern pressure-treated timber uses copper-based salts (Wolmanit CX) that are safe for garden and playground applications.

Can I paint pressure-treated timber?

Yes, but allow the timber to dry for 3–6 months first. The wood continues to shrink after treatment and paint adheres better to dry timber.

How long does pressure-treated timber last?

Pressure-treated timber lasts an average of 15–20 years, depending on the application. With permanent ground contact this is shorter (10–15 years). For maximum lifespan we recommend placing posts on concrete piers rather than embedding them in soil.

Is pressure-treated timber suitable for playground equipment?

Yes, modern pressure-treated timber (Wolmanit CX-8) is safe for playground equipment and meets European standards. It contains no chromium or arsenic, unlike older treatments.
