Hello:

I've been told Not to use Aluminum flashing against pressure treated
wood. Apparently the chemicals attack and disolve the Aluminum.

That one should (only) use galvanized steel flashing against
pressure treated wood.

Is this true ?

When I use pt wood for fencing, I use all stainless steel pins, nails,
and screws. Aluminum is a very reactive metal, and even zinc coatings
will rot quicker than on normal wood.

I'm not real sure here, but I think I read somewhere that triple coated
ceramic screws are also recommended? Is that same as zinc? I used to hate
welding zinc in factories, caused a lot of breathing probs..hack and hack.
