Concerned about the using new PT Lumber with the bracket?

0

There has been concern about PT wood on the Maine Deck Bracket being made of aluminum. The problem is the copper content in the treating process and the reaction between dissimilar metals. It has been recommended by both the treating people we talked to and the aluminum manufactures is to simply staple felt paper, poly, or other material that would not allow direct contact with the wood, to the wood where the Bracket contact point would be before installing. This should eliminate any problems with he use of the Maine Deck Bracket and Treated lumber.
