A lot of children develop asthma and allergies.
What has already happened when we didn’t know better is hard to fix afterwards, other than by living healthily.
One of the builders here had already bought a sandbox, the other would never buy one, was heard now.
You get sick sooner or later, usually later, if it happens too early, one can be struck by regret over sins, like a smoker with emphysema.

I never mentioned sand in the mouth; it was perhaps someone else who takes health seriously.JLT said:
Fredells has an octagonal nice one for 2900:- or a small untreated one with a lid for 300ClasseClas said:I bought a sandbox - kit - in larch wood for the boys when they were little. The wood was completely untreated and it's said that larch wood is quite durable even without treatment. After 5-6 years, the wood had started to rot in the parts that had ground contact, so I shipped the timber into the sauna stove for further use...
Can't you get those larch wood sandboxes anymore? ??? :
Indeed, life itself is a 'dangerous' journey and naturally, you avoid what you believe is directly dangerous/harmful for the children.Annaman said:
I don't really understand what the problem is, if you perceive that the pressure-treated wood is a risk of such magnitude for your child that you are not willing to take, I respect that.
BUT why insinuate about "law of the child's best interest", "no children should have", "remorse for sins", "take health seriously" etc. etc.
Now buy the untreated one or build it yourself, then at least that risk is eliminated for you, at least at home, because who knows what the playground equipment at daycare is made of.

Good people, let the discussion continue on the topic of building materials - pressure-treated wood and alternatives thereto. Posts about child-rearing, children's well-being, and what you can and cannot do with children will continue to be removed from this thread.

The interesting thing about this law is that such items can be sold for children, which needs to be addressed further as not everyone has the foresight. We ourselves fell into the trap and now have a brand new deck, which might need a mat, as the construction was expedited with carpenters for the child. I'll check with the municipality since they are supposed to be so environmentally conscious.byggimpert said:Certainly, life itself is a 'dangerous' journey, and naturally, one avoids what one believes is directly dangerous/harmful for the children.
Actually, I don't quite understand what the problem is. If you feel that the pressure-treated wood poses a risk of such magnitude for your child, which you are not willing to take, I respect that.
BUT why make insinuations about "law for the child's best interest," "no children should have," "repent for sins," "take health seriously," and so on.
Now buy the untreated one or build it yourself, and that risk is at least eliminated for you, at least at home, because who knows what the playground equipment at daycare is made of.

It is probably quite accurate as described that impregnation agents are toxic to both aquatic organisms and us two-legged creatures. However, one should not forget the fundamental principle that everything is toxic; it is, however, a question of dosage. That a child playing in a sandbox for a few hours per week over a couple of years would be exposed to any significant health risk regarding the wood that the sandbox frame is made of is something I find extremely hard to imagine. It can be considered a relatively well-ventilated environment, so any evaporation that might occur from the wood should be of minor importance, and most children probably do not spend their sandbox time licking or gnawing on the wood. Ergo, the dose/concentration that the child is exposed to in terms of impregnation agents should be negligibly small. My two cents on the subject.
Small children lick and chew on everything that might have been there, we now have a untreated box, so the next investigation will be on our new deck, check with the one who sold the timber.Loffe said:

""You have asked about what impregnation agent we use.
We use Volmanit CX-8 for both class A and class AB.
Class A (for use in ground or water) 3.7% CX-8 with penetration of 22 kg/m³ wood
Class AB (for use above ground) 2.0% CX-8 with penetration of 12 kg/m³ wood
Information about this should be available by the wood in the lumberyard as well as at the checkout.""

The impregnating agents are very toxic, but the final product that is pressure-treated wood cannot be particularly dangerous. As long as you don't inhale sawdust/sanding dust or eat it....
We will continue to walk barefoot on pressure-treated decks.
