The following projects were created out of treated lumber because of the outdoor environment they were in with lots of snow and rain.
When these were built CCA treated lumber was the way to go. Now days I would use one of the more health favorable products on the market
Such as: recycled plastic lumber, naturally durable species such as redwood, cedar...etc
Non-wood products such as plastic lumber are highly resistent to decay, however, most are not designed for structual use, therefore the use of plastic lumber is limited. So make sure the project you are making will stand up to what you need if you use these.
If you are able to still obtain treated lumber and must use it, make sure to protect yourself with gloves, face mask, cover your skin and wash well with soap after using. Sanding is not recommended because of the fine particals created.
