The benefits are numerous for pressure-treated wood that is re-dried after treatment:

• Dry pressure-treated lumber minimizes most shrinkage problems, and helps reduce warping, twisting, and cupping.
• Fasteners driven or screwed into dry pressure-treated wood hold tighter and stay tighter.
• Re-drying assures immediate and maximum preservative fixation within the wood, providing a safe, clean, and environmentally sound product.
• Re-dried pressure-treated wood can be coated or painted immediately without waiting the weeks or months recommended for wet treated wood to dry naturally.
• Drying after treatment reduces the weight of the lumber, making it lighter and easier to handle.
