There are various timber preservatives available. Some are not suitable for timber in ground contact, while others protect timber in all possible applications. CCA preservatives are suitable for the support poles and bearers, and CCA treated timber is suitable for the pine decking planks. CCA treated timber has a greenish colour. Timber treated with boron or TBTO does not change its natural appearance.
The latter two preservatives are, however, leachable and should therefore contain a water repellent in the preservative in order to meet the H3 requirement of SABS 1288. This water repellency property has to be maintained to prevent leaching of the preservative. A water repellent also protects the timber from degradation from weathering.
