CCA Treated Products
Do not burn CCA treated timber, off-cuts or waste as toxic fumes or residues may be produced.CCA Treatement is an added bonus for users of Gunns Timber Products products. Once treated with CCA the timber can withstand conditions where damp, fungi or insects would quickly destroy untreated timber.
CCa Stands for Chromated Copper Arsenate, is a preservative added to specific GTP products under strictly controlled conditions of vaccum pressure. It is the CCA preservative treatement that gives treated timber its characteristic green colour.
It eventually fades to an attractive silver-grey. Surface protection is recommended for all treated pine products where appearance is important.
There are six "Hazard Classes" of CCA preservative treatement. The intensity of treatement relates directly to the conditions the timber will be expected to encounter, H1 being the least protected and H6 being the highest treatement level.

- Decking, encing cladding, fascia, window joinery, exterior strucural timber
H4 - Outside, in ground
- High fungal decay and termite hazard
- Fencing, greenhouses, pergolas, non-structural and landscaping timbers
H5 - Outside, in ground or fresh water
- High fungal decay and termite hazard

Note: The specifier or designer should ensure that the treated timber used is specific to the correct hazard level. Using treated timber in a higher hazard level than that it is intended for may result in premature failure. Note that the hazard level of treatement is not related to the stress grade or other engineering properties of the timber.
