I'll take em. Thanks man!
Boards are taken thx.
Sure hope you are not sinking treated lumber in your fishing spots.:yikes
I wasn't thinking about that. Do you think that those old fence slats will still have a bunch of chemicals in them. If so, I guess I will just burn them.Quote:

It didn't look or smell like cedar or look like redwood. So I guess I won't use it to be safe. I guess that pallet wood isn't treated. That seems to be what some folks use.
It's just pine pickets that has been up about 20 years
If It was untreated pine in the weather in be rodded up by now
I've heard some say pallets treated but if I set them on the ground too long the Termites make a meal of them ? Some imported pallets maybe but local mades it is doubtfull. There is a pallet mill down the road and he saws his own lumber to build. I get his scraps for stakes. I try to avoid any that are not hardwood .
CCA is a copper arsenic compound, and probably leached out after 20 yrs from rain and weather. :twocents
