as DaDio said, what about the chemical laden sanding dust

you have pressure treated wood, which means it is treated with arsnic
to prevent rot by killing anything that trys to grow on it. sanding it
will rais poisonous dust into the air, it sholdn't have a high enough
concentration to kill someone, but you won't have a buch of people
chearing your name either.

we have a ceder deck and i did the same thing a few years back, basicly
the grain dropped back down after staing or wore off over the next
year.

A few weeks ago I was pressure washing my back deck which, due to
various remodeling projects had become a real mess. I had stained
the deck two years earlier with a Home Depot latex stain. Anyway I
washed it down to the bare treated wood figuring I would just stain
it again and it'd look like new. Wrong. I was so impressed at how
"clean it was gitting that I didn't realize my Little Honda washer
was basically chiseling a fine layer of the wood off the top. Now
the surface, however clean, is barely a bit smoother than rough cut
lumber. (Okay, I'm an idiot.) I am in North GA where we use this
large covered deck almost year round and this surface is horrible
for barefoot runs to the hottub. The decking is probably ten years
old and it has always been covered. Here's my idea: Could I rent
one of those big walk behind sanders from HD and sand the boards
smooth again.? If used them to resurface floors inside before but
never treated deck wood. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions
would be welcome. Thanks.

And what of the nails? Not to mention nasty, chemical laden sanding
dust.
