There are a lot of different grades and types of treated lumber.
What is found at the local lumber store will likely be UC4A, which is rated for ground contact.
It will work above ground, but probably more vulnerable to warping and checking as it dries.
There are better grades available. But I don't know if they are available to the consumer, or where you would find them, or if it would be cost effective to procure it.

I don't know the size of your project or the budget, but maybe using redwood or cedar would be an option. There are composite decking options, but that gets into serious money.
