At TimberTown, weāve been carrying treated lumber products for over 30 years. We are proud to carry lumber cut from Spray Lakes Mill outside Cochrane, and treated with MicroPro Sienna, a pressure treatment made in Canada ā which meets CSA standards and claims to have an environmental footprint of less than half of traditional treated wood, protecting your deck boards from fungal and termite invasion.Ā
