Elizabeth Marion, Owner and President of Princeton Wood Preservers Ltd. with her son Bill Everitt, General Manager.
Princeton Wood Preservers Ltd. (PWP) is a family owned and operated company. In 2013 they celebrated 40 years as a fully integrated mill producing pressure treated round wood products including fence posts, orchard and vineyard trellising, poles and wild life exclusion fencing.
PWP is an industry leader for producing pressure treated round wood post and rail products of the highest standard, with particular attention to quality and aesthetics. PWP's direct control over the manufacturing process, from raw trees in the forest, to pressure treating and fixation means they stand behind every post they produce with a 25 year warranty. Quality assurance is rooted in strict adherence to pressure treating standards established by the American Wood Preservers Association (AWPA), the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and the Canadian Wood Preservation Certificate Authority (CWPCA) for Environmental Plant Certification. From coast to coast, north and south of the border, Princeton Wood Preservers is the name in quality and consistency.

Located in Princeton, British Columbia, PWP is part of the foundation of Princeton’s industrial base, its third largest industrial employer and a staunch supporter of local service groups, schools, charitable organizations and youth sporting events. Each part of the production process is completed at the 23 acre production plant including bucking to length, peeling, pointing and doming, drying, treating and fixation. This allows PWP to ensure that the products they produce meet quality control standards set at each part of the process. PWP operates year round, with 35 full time employees.
The difference starts with the trees. We harvest fibre from our own forest license allowing for selection of timber best suited for our products.
