Dangerous wood for backyards

Treated Wood
While treated wood decks look gorgeous, the arsenic in treated wood can be very dangerous. It’s best not to store anything under treated wood as the arsenic tends to drip off in rainstorms and sit on the stored items such as children’s toys or play sets. Also, make sure to sand the wood often in case of splinters small children may encounter.
