- is approved for all treatment levels up to and including H6
- is highly cost-effective
- has unmatched durability for ground contact
- has a record of use and performance going back 70 years
CCA preservative is recognised globally as having the best long term resistance to decay, termites and even marine organisms which is why Young Brothers Posts can safely guarantee your timber for 50 years.

The difference between H3, H4 and H5
H3 tanalised timberThis treatment is for timber that is exposed to the weather but not in contact with the ground. This includes non-structural timber, for example fascia boards or weatherboards as well as for timber protected from the weather but with a risk of water entrapment like decking, fencing and garden structures.
H4 tanalised timber
H4 is the main treatment used by the crew at Young Brothers Posts for in-ground posts, strainers, framing, structural and landscaping timber. Ideal where there is a risk of severe decay such as in-ground exposure.
H5 tanalised timber
Ideal for situations where there's a risk of severe decay such as on or in-ground use or in severe or continuously wet conditions. Think tanalised building and deck piles, house piles, post and rail fencing, retaining wall posts, crib walling and horticultural supports.
