Do we really need regulations to keep us from polluting our lake? It is impossible to prevent drippage into the lake. Even the most careful brushing will result in droplets into the lake. I cant believe someone actually sprayed their dock. Pressure treated wood will last forever without any treatment. Sure there will be some cracks over time, but a little sandpaper will take cared of splinters. Nature Wood seems to weather a little better than the older pressure treated wood, but maybe there's not enough elapsed time to tell for sure.
