Hi all,
Starting to make plans for a greenhouse (~16 x 24ft). At first I was looking only at extruded aluminum frame greenhouse for obvious reasons : no rust, lumber was not considered due to instability, and rot and the genral poor quality of lumber available. BUT then I stumbled accross Accoya lumber ( Accoya | Acetylated Wood | Modified Wood, treated wood, Accoya). Basically they have a process to acetylate all remaining free hydroxyl groups thereby preventing water absoprtion and rot. This type of wood treatment is used in Europe (it is environmentallt friendly, no toxity etc), but it is also imported to the US (i.e Rex Hardwoods in Virgina has it).
So here is the question: Has anyone used this product or seen it used?
TIA
Bernhard
