Veg Garden from Pressure Treated wood??

ChrisMansell

Hello,

I want to make a vegetable garden, or a raised planter, from reclaimed wood. The wood is sourced from my neighbours old fence. I was told that it MAY be pressure treated, and if it is, that I shouldn't even do ANYTHING with it because of the possibility of arsenic poisoning and other dangers...

Can someone please help me to identify if it is pressure treated or not? Google has many vague answers, about color and possible imprints, but it's 22 years old and all signs could have faded....

Can anyone help me, or tell me where I can go to get help? Thank you in advance,

Chris

Here's a link to another forum I posted on with photos.
