Hello. To maybe save you some time if you go to buy treated lumber there may not be any. This AM I drove the hour to St Joe ,MO to get supplies and lumber to build a pond dock. Got the supplies, turned the corner for the lumber and big surprise. Lowes had about 10% of what they usually do. Zero deck boards, 2x4's, 2x6's, 8- 2x8's, 15-20 2x10's, a few 2x12's and 4x4's. Went to Home Depot and it was about the same. Heard some guys talking and Menards is the same. Combination of Coronavirus affects on plant openings/chemical/shipping/etc.

Not a problem here. But the southern states are the source of syp lumber including pressure treat.

Was like that here for awhile. Have been seeing a comeback in the last month. Prices are about 50% more than what I was paying in January. There are likely some local lumber yards that still have what you need.

It’s the same here . Was looking for some 4x4x96 the other day so I went to Lowe’s to get them they didn’t have any . My wife called 2 other Lowe’s and Home Depot’s and a few local hardware stores nobody had any . I finally found some and they was over 15 a piece . I knew it had went up but I didn’t think it was that much but the guy said they had double in the last few months.

I just watched a train load of treated lumber head North of me. Not sure what the yards have in stock.

Have you guys tried regular lumber yards instead of big box stores? There is no shortage of lumber at my lumber supply places.


Eh...wot?

Same here. I stopped by the lumber yard to get some 2X4 form material and two treated 2X6 joists to replace rotted ones on my dock. They had a fresh bundle of the treated boards, but said they had been out for the past two weeks and just got a bundle in and they would not last long. I just got lucky stopping by when I did. crazy
