#1 I heard at a BBQ Sunday about the new pressure treated wood that will react poorly to standard galvinized hardware. The old stuff has been changed due to health concerns. The new stuff requires expensive stainless hardware and extra galvanized nails and screws. The new hardware is ten times more expensive. That deck may have to wait.

Anybody know whether this is true as this was keg banter.

#3 Lucky, ask and ye shall receive:
Fasteners (and other metal products) for use with ACQ pressure-treated wood products:
• Hot-Dip Galvanized*
Fastener and hardware manufacturers have suggested the minimum Hot-Dip Galvanized requirements for use with treated wood should conform to the following ASTM Standards: ASTM-A153 (for Hot-Dip fastener products) and ASTM-A653 (Coating Designation G-185 for Hot-Dip connector and sheet products).
• Stainless Steel
Stainless steel fasteners and connectors are required for Permanent Wood Foundations below grade and are recommended for use with treated wood in other severe exterior applications such as swimming pools, salt water exposure, etc. - Type 304 and 316 are the recommended grades to use.
• Other fasteners and hardware as recommended by the manufacturer
There may be additional products (other than stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized) which are suitable for use with ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quaternary) pressure-treated wood. Please consult with the individual fastener or hardware manufacturer for recommendations for use of their products with ACQ pressure-treated wood.
• Aluminum should not be used in direct contact with ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quaternary) pressure-treated wood
Spacer materials or other physical barriers are recommended to prevent direct contact of ACQ pressure-treated wood and aluminum products.

Hot-dipped galvanized is ok to use, cheap surface-plated galvanized isn't. I'd never use plated anyway, it flakes off.

#4 I'd also recommend hitting that pressure treated wood on the deck with some sort of stain. I hit my front porch and back deck with this redwood Behr stain (from Home Depot; don't buy Behr paint, I'm told it sucks), looks much, much better than exposed pressure treated. Most people are convinced you don't have to hit pressure treated wood with this stuff. If you're so inclined, just wait 10-15 years when you're rebuilding your deck.

Guess I'll have to get rid of all my cheap aluminum-tube patio chairs... or maybe hang 'em from the awning.
