Gulf Coast Lumber sells a full line of Southern Yellow Pine pressure treated
lumber ready to ship in bundles or as pieces to your
project from locations in Houston, Texas and the Central
American Country of Costa Rica.
Southern Yellow Pine
is the preferred species for pressure treatment because
of its unique cellular structure that permits deep,
uniform penetration of preservatives. Some 85%
of all pressure-treated wood produced in the U.S.
is Southern Pine. In addition to being the
strongest softwood structural pine, it is abundantly
grown, and dimensionally stable.

We
specialize in treated wood products. We sell
wood and pressure treated lumber products to meet
your requirements and in accordance with national
and local regulations.
Most dimensional pressure treated lumber is treated
either ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quat), MCQ (Micronized
Copper Quat) or MCA (Micronized Copper Azole).
Larger dimensional lumber (2x8 and above) can be treated
with CCA(Chromated Copper Arsenate) but only for use
in certain commercial construction applications.
CCA Pressure
Treated Lumber
CCA is considered by many professionals to be the
best lumber treatment. It is clean to work with, long-lasting,
and relatively non-corrosive to metal hardware and
fasteners.
ACQ Pressure
Treated Lumber
ACQ treated lumber is an effective treatment approved
for consumer use. ACQ has been in use since 1990 for
projects ranging from decks to docks to piers.
ACQ is more corrosive to hardware and fasteners than
CCA and MCQ so coated hardware and fasteners needs to
be used with ACQ treated lumber
MCQ Pressure
Treated Lumber
MCQ treated lumber is an excellent choice for dimensional
lumber as it relatively non-corrosive to hardware
and fasteners and does not leach as much as ACQ. It
is odorless and colorless. In fact, MCQ treated
lumber looks so natural it is sometimes returned by
customers who argue it was delivered untreated.
MCA Pressure
Treated Lumber
MCA treated lumber is another excellent choice for
dimensional lumber. Like MCQ it is relatively non-corrosive
to hardware and fasteners and does not leach as much
as ACQ. MCA pressure treated lumber can also
be tinted at time of treatment to either a Cedar or
Redwood color.

Extended Durability
- For an even longer lasting bulkhead or retaining
wall, use our polymer vinyl coating on your rough
treated lumber components. Our polymer vinyl coating
adds extra protection against attacks to your treated
wood from marine borers and UV rays. Our polymer vinyl
coating stops the chemicals used for pressure treating
from leaching - meaning the treatment stays in the
lumber forever to protect and preserve your investment. |
