Need to build a new dock. Old one is just about done.
It'll be a floater like the old one.
The question is wheather pressure treated wood or
cedar is better. The problem with pressure treated is the arsnic
content. For a dock that swimmers and skiers will be sitting on and
pulling themselves up on, that's not so good. Cannot always get
pressure treated without arsnic.
How well does cedar hold up to extreme weather condiitions.
Fresh water, Canadian winters and all that.


When you factor in longevity, splinters, maintenance and the like, you
may want to look at a composite material. It may very well be worth
the extra cost.

I realize that but that's not what I want to do. Any other takers?
Cedar or treated?
