Pressure-treated wood mixed with regular wood

[Peter_Nilsson]

Hello

I am going to renovate a gable balcony and am deciding whether to use pressure-treated wood or not for a pillar. I am thinking of making pillars from 45x120+90x90+45x120. The beam that the pillar will support is glulam that is painted.

Is it unwise to mix painted glulam and pressure-treated wood?

Hello

I am renovating an end balcony and am torn on whether I should use pressure-treated wood or not for a post. I was thinking of making the post from 45x120+90x90+45x120. The beam that the post will support is glulam that is painted.

Is it a bad idea to mix painted glulam and pressure-treated wood?

If the post will be exposed to moisture, I think it is a good idea to have it impregnated. The glulam will be much more protected.
