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. TIA The hard science of whether a PT dock will kill someone is secondary to perceptions. Sooner or later you'll have a guest that won't let their kids play on it if it's PT, and sooner or later the local newspaper will report that mysterious substance X is in the lake and maybe it's coming from someone's PT dock. Nothing will beat being able to say that your deck is just good old 100% cedar as you put your feet up in your Muskoka chair and open another Blue Lite. Chip C Toronto Hi Chip.
