Me and my dad are about to build a doghouse for my lab simpler to that one
Pressure treated lumber is a big no no for a dog house.
Studies have shown that CCA-treated lumber does leach chromium, copper and arsenic into the surrounding soil. The migration of these elements appears to be limited. In addition, research has not clearly shown a long term negative impact upon plants or animals.
thank you…use shingles
You are best

So pressure treated wood is bad???Is all treated wood pressure treated
I guess you better not let you dog lay on your deck anymore. It's too dangerous because of the pressure treated wood. 🙂
you didnt show how to build a dog house, you showed a time lapse of your doghouse being worked on. you did show tools though so thats cool….yea helpful…
People seem to think that modern pressure treated wood is still treated with arsenic which it isn't, it's treated with copper chromium (the same thing that lines the copper pipes in houses) hence when ever fresh treated wood is exposed to water it turns green (now go have a look at your pipes). It's a modern day myth that just doesn't hold any ground now a days, I mean do you really think the EPA would allow people to use pressure treated wood in water way applications like piers if it wasn't safe?
This is a great job. Does your dog "appreciate" your idea and your efforts ? :o)
