Untreated 4x4x10’ lumber?

[gtrboy77]

I was looking for these for a project and none of the box stores have them in stock. And none of them anywhere around seem to have them either. They have untreated 4x4x8’ lumber all days long, but no ten footers. They carry treated 10’ lumber but its all wet and weighs 4x as much (at least it feels like it) and they’ll warp after they dry out. Thought about laminating some 2x4x10’ with some 1/2 plywood in between, but couldn’t find any near straight enough. Am I crazy or do places just not carry untreated 4x4x10’ lumber anymore?

4x4 DF or YP #2/ 10ft is common. Might be just where you are at.

Treated lumber is heavier because of the treatment and when they sell it , it still is wet +20% . Most Framing lumber even wet is usually14ish%. Dries out pretty quick but, yeah, it is heavier

Give Capitol City lumber a call.

A long shot, but if you have lumber treating company closer to you, you may be able to grab what you need before it is processed(treated).

As an example, here in the Triangle (Tarheel Wood Treating) where I have heard, you can purchase stock before treatment.

Another option is contacting a local sawyer

Have you tried a regular lumber store vs the big box stores?

That’s my next move. Most of them around here (Spartanburg) are only open Mon-Fri, so I’ll be making a few calls Monday morning. Fingers crossed!

I got some from Capital City Lumber in Raleigh several years ago.

Capital City had longer ones that I needed a couple of years age.
