| Oct 1, 2021 at 15:40 | comment | added | Joe | Haha. Yeah it's my secret way to get people to comment on other parts of the process without asking 5 independent questions since SO never seems to like multiple questions or 'general comments' type questions. ;). It seems to work about 50% of the time ;) Thanks for your response. I'll see if I can get any more information about my area and maybe the lumber used. | |

| Oct 1, 2021 at 15:31 | comment | added | isherwood | That was a whole lot of reading to get to a fairly simple question. :P Answer: no one knows. Specific soil conditions, climate, etc. factor in, but the most important question might be remaining concentration of anti-microbial material in the wood. That leaches out over time. We aren't chemists and we don't have wood samples, nor do we have any sort of actuarial tables from which to draw conclusions based on chemical analysis. You'll have to make the call based on average treated lumber lifetime, budget, and will. | |
