Yellow Coloured Timber

DIYWell · 26 Apr 2015

Right, soft wood with a greenish tinge ... pressure treated. Got that, big tick.

But yesterday, walking past a skip, I noticed some offcuts from timber they'd used to build an extension that had a yellowish colour to the outside surfaces. Inside, just the usual softwood blonde.

So, what's the reason for the yellow colouring?

its possibly the green tinge nearly bleached out
it took around 2 years for my shed to go yellow

I don't think so. The yellow timber was new and used in the roof as far as I could see.

It will be regularised and treated timber used for internal work like kits, joists, roofs etc. Treated but not suitable for ground contact....can't remember the name of the treatment.

It's probably a vac-vac treatment which is yellow
