CCA treated lumber is still manufactured and sold for certain industrial and marine applications, including agricultural posts and poles, and some builders prefer CCA lumber for poles and posts. However, a considerable amount of AC2 lumber is being used, including posts and dimension lumber (2x4, 2x6, etc). You can almost guarantee that any pressure treated lumber that you buy from a lumber yard today is not the CCA lumber that weve all been familiar with for so many years.

I have CCA decks built 30 years ago and are still in good shape.
I'm lucky to get 11 years out of AC2 decking lumber.
I've found trapping moisture will shorten the life of AC2 deck boards.
