Re: Plastic Lumber

**J*@aol.com**

I have had some experience with the artificial deck and it has great use in marine applications.  It appears to be nontoxic across the board if made correctly.  Also the majority of treated wood has not been cca processed for a while, this business of arsenic has popped up many years ago, and most of the wood for sale as treated lumber was not cca, or at least in my area anyway.  I thought they were silly to outlaw creosote, it just had to be handled correctly. CCA was the replacement for creosote, and I never liked it.  The chemical replacement for cca does not last as long as either cca or creosote, and most people who want functional fencing to hold livestock have figured out other methods.
