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?

PT won't be illegal, the treatment type will. Manufacturers are
already switching to non-arsenic types of pressure treatment.
