I bought some 2" thick10" high planks of board to make a 3' by 7' wall for an outdoor enclosure. This enclosure will be protected in a screened patio that has a roof, but should be able to handle rain. Sometimes it rains on the patio during high wind and heavy rainfall weather. Hurricane season especially. I will also install a sprinkler system to help keep the humidity up on days where it is less than ideal.
So, I bought my wood from Lowes. It is not pressure treated. I don't know what kind of wood it is. Do I need to treat it or can I use it as is and just have it screwed together to make an enclosure frame?
If it lasts just a year I will be happy. But if I have to spend more money to paint or seal it, it better last a few years.
