Posted thread on the crappie structure site but never got a response. Is it harmful to make condos out of old pressure treated wood that hasn't been stained or painted ? I have a bunch of it.

they build docks out of it every day. Every time it rains it washes off the dock in the water. Some of my best docks that i shoot and catch so many crappie out from under are made with treated wood.

I wouldn't recommend new fresh treated lumber but if it is old I don't think it would hurt anything.
Not saying you can but won't it take a lot of blocks to sink it and make it stay on bottom?I don't see why not, a lot of docks have broke off and sunk and it don't seem to hurt anything. It's not going to leave a oil slick or be seeping out anything.

That would be some high priced condos using treated lumber that you might NEED later on but if you wanna then go for it.![]()
It would be fine, like was said......what do you think dock and post are??

No it's old wood. 16 years old as a matter of fact. Tore down an old deck, built a new one. I can either haul it to the dump, burn it or let crappie live around it. I have a way to keep it on the bottom. I had seen comments on here before discouraging treated wood but like most of you, have caught many many crappie off of wooden docks sunken & above water.
