[QUOTE="shawnfish, post: 230937, member: 4468"] no damage or penetration into the aluminum bench, not sure what you mean by "was it just the paint" the bench is bare aluminum. and it wasnt from rubbing, i had the deck carpeted on both sides and it was secured good and didnt shift at all. and your assumption is correct, it was not treated. funny thing is my floor supports were treated and the floor wedged between the front and back bench and was not secured any way besides that. so i figured id keep them in till now because i could just lift it up to check for any signs of a chemical reaction from the treated supports and there was no sign of anything at all where they rested on the floor, only there where the thompsons treated deck sat??? weird but i dont know what else would have caused it. oh, i replaced the 3/4 treated deck with the 1/2 inch thompsons treated deck in may if im not mistaken. either way it was no longer than 6 months. one more thing, i put 5 coats of thompsons on a small peice of pine ply and screwed it to a small sheet of aluminum. im gonna check it every few weeks or so to see what happens so i know for my own satisfaction if it was the thompsons or not.
