WHAT TYPES OF WOOD PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE WITH FACTORY TREATMENT?

FAQ
Dimension lumber and plywood are available treated with CCA or borate. OSB treated with borate and CCA-treated Parallam are also available. Glulam can be effectively treated with oil-based preservatives, but these are not suitable for use in buildings. Glulam and LVL are very difficult to pressure-treat, however, it may be possible to treat these products with borate during production as with borate-treated OSB currently available commercially.

HOW ARE PRESERVATIVE CHEMICALS APPLIED TO WOOD?

FAQ
Wood products for construction are typically treated in a factory, using a pressure process. The product is loaded into a vessel, then the vessel is filled with a water solution containing the preservative chemicals. The vessel is pressurised to force the solution into the wood. Most dimension lumber can be treated this way, as well as plywood and Parallam. Other composite products are hard to pressure-treat, for example, OSB, LVL and glulam.

Will chemicals in treated wood contaminate my vegetables?

Extoxnet FAQs - Questions About Gardening and Pesticides
When constructing a raised bed, treated wood is often used as it is resistant to rot. The most commonly available treated wood is impregnated with a CCA (chromated copper arsenate), often known as Wolmanized wood. To treat wood throughout, CCA is applied under very high pressure. This treatment fixes the CCA inside the wood, greatly reducing to potential for loss at the surface. However, with time, small amounts of arsenic, chromium, and copper will leach out to the surrounding soil.
