This wood they sell as treated (got a sort of greenish tint to the
outside of it; slightly pinkish inside) - is it sort of like thoroughly
soaked in the preservative chemicals so it penetrates right the way
through or is it essentially just a superficial coating of just a few mms?

cheers,
cd.

I rejected a batch destined for my roof a couple of years ago as it was
obvious they had been dunked in a tank while still banded together. The
inner faces of the inner timbers in the bundle weren't even green on the
outside never mind any penetration !
