When should I chose a pressure treated roof?

Western Red Cedar is already a material naturally resistant to decay and that is why it has always been so popular as a roofing material, however, in some extreme climates it is necessary to boost that natural resistance. CCA pressure treated Shake and Shingles are designed for extremely wet & shaded, or tropical climates where building materials require an increased resistance to fungal decay and also in many southern geographic locations where termites are present.

Watkins preservative treated wood offers, easy handling and modification, long life, and low cost. Common tools can be used for construction and repair and when used as recommended in approved applications, CCA-treated wood provides decades of service, and in some harsh climates can even double the life of the roof.
