I was upset to learn our contractor wants to use treated lumber for the substructure. If I touch treated lumber I get a rash and just walking by it makes me ill and groggy. Can the substructure be made of Ipe Ironwood? What would you reccomend? Surely the understructures of Ipe docks are Ipe. I realize it is harder to work with and costs more, but it will last longer and be better for the environment.
