Thanks Re: Is MGP10 timber treated pine? 2Apr 05, 2013 12:13 am Googling MGP10 (Machine Graded Pine) I can see no mention of treated pine Arfur Re: Is MGP10 timber treated pine? 4Apr 05, 2013 11:27 am I have heard of treated MGP10 timber but regardless of what timber you use, you are after minimum H3 timber. Hazard levels of timber Hazard Levels are quite simply guidelines providing information as to which type of treatment is suitable for which purpose. The hazard levels range from H1 (lowest) to H6 (highest). H1 is the lowest level protecting against insects other than termites as well as Lyctiid and Anobiid attack. H1 timber can be used indoors and above ground for flooring or furniture. both CCA and LOSP treatments are suitable for use as H1. H2 treatment level protects against Termites and Borers and can be used inside in an above ground application, ususally for framing and flooring. CCA, ACQ and LOSP treatments are all suitable for use as H2. H3 treatment allows timber to be used outside in an above ground application. H3 protects against moderate decay, borers and termites and can be used for cladding, fascia, pergolas and decking. Treatments appropriate for H3 level are CCA, ACQ, TanE and LOSP. H4 treatment protects against severe decay, termites and borers and is suitable for use outside and inground. CCA, ACQ and TanE can all be used to treat timber to H4 level. H4 timber is commonly used for fenceposts, pergolas, greenhouses and landscaping applications. H5 Treatment protects against very severe decay, termites and borers. Both CCA and ACQ treatments are suitable for H5 levels. H5 timber can be used outside, inground and in contact with fresh water. It's common applications include usage for retaining walls, house stumps and building poles. H6 treatment protects timber against Marine Borer attack and decay. This treatment can be provided by CCA as well as Creosote treatments. H6 timber is appropriate for use in marine waters and is commonly used for boat hulls, jetty cross bracing and landing steps. Re: Is MGP10 timber treated pine? 5Jun 08, 2013 8:22 am tstr1a MGP10 is for internal use only. Not treated. Not true, Hyne M10s and M10a are treated with LOSP treatment and can be used externally. These are generally more favourable than using an F7 CCA treated pine for the main reason of strength and they generally stay straighter.
