Is decking safe (with regard to small children chewing it)?
Hi, I was planning to make some planters for our garden from decking
boards (from Wickes or B&Q). As it's treated it should last a long time, however I am worried whether this 'treatment' is harmful to small children by touching or chewing (we have a 15 month old son and hope to have another child). I would have thought it was safe as it's so widely used but just wanted to double-check. Thanks |

Generally speaking you can say its safe. The preserver is forced under pressure inside the timber and by now the carrying solvent would have evaporated. You would need to eat an awful lot of wood for it do do harm I think. Touching is not a problem.
