Re: Advice regarding Hardwood for battening
|
Pressure-treated softwood is fine if you're using it in the sizes in which it was treated. The biocide doesn't go into the wood very far, even under pressure, so when you cut a long piece into short blocks you expose untreated end grain on the inside of the wood. Not good. Go for a durable species and sleep well.
