To me it's strange cause I hear that a lot. About PT being twisted or warped or otherwise just plain lousy. To me it's pine, that's been cut and dried and planed and then put in a big chamber and soaked with stuff that will help keep bugs from eating it up. Plain and simple. I've bought a bunch of it in the last few years. I've built porches for a couple of customers, my brother, and a deck for my dad. I've got over a hundred running feet anywhere from 8 foot to 12 foot wide on my house. I like to stack it up and let it dry a bit, but I've also used a lot of it wet, straight from the lumber company. If using it wet when I put down floor boards I only partially nail them and go back about a week later and finish nailing them up to help prevent them from splitting as they dry.
I never go pick it myself, unless I only need one or two boards. Almost always I have mine delivered. Haven't had to complain because they always send out good lumber. I do see the odd stack at the lumber company that they've set aside instead of trying to sell but it's never that much, just a few boards now and again. But what I've bought, what they send out, no problems at all.
Recently to help finish my porch I ordered 14 twelve foot 6/6;s and 18 8 foot 6/6's along with 50 more floor boards and 50 more 2/8's. I also used three 12 foot 6/6's that I've had laying on the ground for a few months that were still straight. To completely finish up I'm going to need a few more 6/6s. To date, and going back quite a few years I've had no serious problems with any of it. Maybe, and I'm serious here, that in some parts of the country they try to stick you with some low grade stuff
