  • Bringing in treated lumber in the house is not a good idea. It can release/leach chemicals. Treated lumber from years ago was actually treated with arsenic and other dangerous chemicals and has been known to cause cancer and that is one reason for many parks and schools to go with steel and plastic. Good luck and go to pinterest for some cool ideas as well!
