So now there is a lot of pressure treated wood being sold as ground contact type, even if its not going to contact the ground they say to use it if the area is damp, hard to access, over water etc...
I have a bridge made of pressure treated wood that was installed in 06 and by 2010 parts were already rotting out. I have found some of the pressure treated wood sold after they quit using CCA as a method of treatment. I am glad that the new formula is safer, however I am wondering if the manufactures were forced to change their formulas again since the first non CCA PT Wood was such junk. Home depot states that standards are changing, hence the new ground contact even when its not ground contact wood.
Home depot PT Wood
I am about to replace the wood on that bridge that was from 07, but I want to make sure I don't put more junk on there since I am looking at 600 dollars in materials.
Any ideas? Experiences?
I will probably go with menards cedar tone PT 2x6 lumber for my project
