DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY
• Durability of PF equals that of any well-engineeredDurability of PF equals that of any well engineered wood-framed building system
• Keys to PF durabilityy y– Specify appropriate preservative treatment systems
for all wood in ground contact– Use a column foundation option that eliminates
ground contact for any wood structural element
DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY
Of all the hundreds of buildings we ve built throughoutOf all the hundreds of buildings we ve built throughout Florida, we re happy to report absolutely no problems except for minor damage to trim and other small p garchitectural elements on just a few of them.
