Treated wood vs coil stock

Jake | Posted in General Discussion on

Does anyone have any experience wrapping the new treated lumber with aluminum coil stock? I am building a porch and was planning to use coil stock to wrap the outside joist. Should I forget the coil and use a different material to trim out the joist or will the coil stock hold up.

    Aluminum coil stock that I use has a label that warns against use with ACQ treated lumber.

    Check with your material supplier.

    Change to copper. Or start bending galv. stock. Or buffer the aluminum with felt or peel and stick.
