You "should" be able to find a small sawmill in your area. That would be your cheapest route. Oftentimes, these sawmills will have wood that is already air-dry seasoned. Look in your phone book yellow pages under "sawmill", or do a web search for "sawmills in __________". Many manufacturers of small mills will have sections with listings for their customers around the country who you can contact about buying lumber.

Rather than paying for treated lumber, I would go the untreated route and then soak with oil.
