Inquiry
ID request: Use black locust wood instead of chemically or pressure treated wood when constructing outdoor decks or patios. Black locust wood is an extremely hard and durable wood that is resistant to damage by heat and weather. It is native to North America.
Ruling
The request is denied. While the use of hard and durable wood is preferable to pressure-treating, it is not worthy of an ID point.
