Can pine outdoor benches be fire-retardant treated for safety compliance?
Pine outdoor benches are popular for their natural aesthetic and affordability, but their flammability raises safety concerns. Fortunately, pine can be fire-retardant treated to meet safety compliance standards. Specialized chemical treatments penetrate the wood, reducing its flammability and slowing fire spread. These treatments are often required for public spaces, commercial areas, or high-risk environments. While treated pine benches may cost more, they provide added safety and peace of mind. Always verify that the treatment meets local fire safety regulations before purchasing. Proper maintenance also ensures the fire-retardant properties remain effective over time.
