Helpful Expert Reply:

The CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27800 are made from untreated southern yellow pine which is a wood that can withstand a high amount of moisture without rotting. Then they are covered with a marine-grade, weather resistant black carpeting

Are you saying that it is better for the Southern pine boards not to be treated? Do they last longer untreated? Thank you

@Vincent Untreated is the way to go as the chemicals in the treated wood will accelerate corrosion of the bunk brackets.
