I'm making plans for my chicken run. Do I need to use pressure treated wood other than the pieces that come in contact with the ground?
What about the trusses that go under the metal roofing?
We get an average of 8 inches of rainfall per year and total of 13 in snowfall.

If you have pictures or your run, feel free to share 😊
 
When we built our run we used pressure treated lumber for everything that is exposed to the elements. The trusses are not treated.
