Only thing that comes with the dents as you call them are 4X4's , 6X6's ,

and
8X8'x. All the rest of the line comes looking like regular lumber only it

is
injected with aresenic to treat it. Make sure you get certified /rated

pressure
treated and you'll be fine. Don't know where you live but here in MASS,

USA
they are going to make pressure treated wood as we know it iilegal,

because of
the aresenic. They are talking about the year 2005 approx. They did a

study of
all the playgrounds they built in this state for the kids and schools and

found
that the ground was so comtaminated with aresenic that if they covered a

larger
area they would be considered Super Fund sites. Nice for the kids to play

in
huh?



what will be used for framing decks and porches if PT is illegal to
purchase?


Either a non rotting wood, wood treated with an alternative treatment,
or not wood at all, either plastic, or a plastic/wood composite.
