CCA is chromium copper arsenate. All pressure treated wood used to be CCA. Recently however most of what you will find is ACQ alkaline copper quaternary.
If you goto any home building material yard and get pressure treated wood it has been ACQ since at least 2004, and possibly as far back as 2002. CCA is banned as a home building material in most all situations. If your trying to find CCA lumber I wouldn't even know where to look. I do know that it is still made and used in some industries. |

Exactly. by the time the wood rots, your trailer will be a pile of rust.
Paint 'em with exterior grade paint. Ask around your local hazardous waste disposal and they might give away five gallon buckets for free. |

No, any pressure treated wood will be green to yellow in color. If it has a red tint it's neither CCA or ACQ, unless it was stained.

I do have some Tomson water seal out in the garage guys. What do think about that and just ship it? Its no a rolls royce. Thanks

My Myco bunks are 9 years old and I just replaced the carpet.The regular old Wood was fine.
I would think if you paint/seal them up if they did get wet they would hold water? |

I don't buy that. Look at how many people come on here asking questions about what kind of wood and how to treat it. Yeah, even Myco owners replace their bunks every so often.
Point is PT lumber in a boat trailer environment (not exposed to sun and weather) should last a very loooooong time. I would use no sealer and as someone suggested wrap the carpet around the top and sides but leave the bottom as open as possible so it can still drain and dry. just my 2cents. |
I coated mine with fiberglass resin after I drilled weep holes in the boards. Makes them a little heavier but seals them tight and resin is cheap.

Where do you need to put the weep holes how deep etc. How old are your bunks and how are they holding up? |
