absolutely.

If they're not, you can paint preservative on now.

There should be no un-treated timber at the extremities of the build imho.

Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Ideally yes they should be pressure treated but as said they can be painted or sprayed with preservative.

They are Capco HP10 tiles but the website is down so I can't post a link. Google it and a pdf brochure will show up.
