Does anyone know about timber preservatives?
Does anyone know about timber preservatives?
(OP)
Just need to know more about timber preservatives and their effects (if any) on corrosion rates of hot-dipped galvanized bolts in hardwood structures? What is the standard curing time for the hardwood timbers?

There are also treatments that use boron compounds. I like these better than ACQ and CA.
But in any case, good heavy hot dipped galv should be fine. Don't use any Al, and don't use light galv.

Corrosion never sleeps, but it can be managed.
