The pine gate of the San Juan Vicario parochial temple in the city of Comanja, Michoacan, Mexico was rehabilitated. The gate was damaged by termites, worms, fungi and weathering. Gate metallic bearings were rusted. The lower parts of the gate were the most deteriorated. For rehabilitation, galvanized steel bearings were designed and manufactured and then implemented into the building. Replacement wood pieces were made from pine treated with chromate-copper-arsenate (CCA salts). The pieces were treated using the full cell method, called the Bethell process, to 100% penetration.
