Is there any issues with building a chair out of pressure treated materials? Is it dangerous?
Failing that I will use Cedar, but Cedar is bloody expensive.

Most of the harmful pressure treatements (like with Chromium Copper Arsenate) have been outlawed at this point, so the treatment methods might be different. I was informed that treated spruce is only around $1.50 for an 8' length (1x6x8'), but that the treatment method is now different due to the new health regulations (cancer risks) in Canada. I believe the same regs were adopted in the United States, but don't quote me on that.
