TIP: Use water repellent or stain with water repellent when your job is finished to help protect your pressure treated wood from splitting, checking, and warping.

TIP: In some applications you may use screws instead of nails for better hold-down power.

TIP: If the bottom plates are in contact with the ground, you may want to consider using .40 ground contact approved 2x4s.
