IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Warning-Certain metal products (including fasteners, hardware and flashing) may corrode when in direct contact with YellaWood® products. To prevent premature corrosion and failure, it is important to follow the recommendations of the manufacturers for all metal products.

● Use fasteners, hardware or any metal product as recommended by their manufacturer or reference Fastener Information Sheet.

● Use fasteners and other hardware which are in compliance with building codes for the intended use.

● Do not use preserved wood in direct contact with aluminum.

● Do not burn preserved wood.

● Wear a dust mask and goggles when cutting or sanding wood.

● Wear gloves when working with wood.

● Some preservative may migrate from the treated wood into soil/water or may dislodge from the treated wood surface upon contact with skin. Wash exposed skin areas thoroughly.

● All sawdust and construction debris should be cleaned up and disposed of after construction.

● Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing before reuse.

● Preserved wood should not be used where it may come into direct or indirect contact with drinking water, except for uses involving incidental contact such as fresh water docks and bridges.

● Do not use preserved wood under circumstances where the preservative may become a component of food, animal feed or beehives.

● Do not use preserved wood as mulch.

● Only preserved wood that is visibly clean and free of surface residue should be used.

● If the wood is to be used in an interior application and becomes wet during construction, it should be allowed to dry before being covered or enclosed.

● If you desire to apply a paint, stain, clear water repellant or other finish to your preservative treated wood, we recommend following the manufacturer's instructions and label of the finishing product.  Before you start, we recommend you apply the finishing product to a small exposed test area before finishing the entire project to insure it provides the intended result before proceeding.

● Projects should be designed and installed in accordance with federal, state and local building codes and ordinances governing the construction in your area, and in accordance with the National Design Specifications (NDS) and the Wood Handbook.

● Disposal Recommendations: Preserved wood may be disposed of in landfills or burned in commercial or industrial incinerators or boilers in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.
