How long does it take for new pine to start rotting?

Answer 1

The time it takes for new pine wood to start rotting can vary based on environmental conditions, such as moisture, temperature, and exposure to fungi or insects. Generally, untreated pine can begin to show signs of decay within a few months to a couple of years if exposed to consistently damp conditions. Proper treatment and maintenance can significantly extend its lifespan. In dry, well-ventilated environments, pine may last much longer before showing any signs of rot.
