The weight of pressure treated lumber depends on how much time has gone by since the wood was treated, as well as the size of the board or post. Most pressure treated lumber is made from southern yellow pine, which is a relatively heavy wood to begin with, so pressure-treated wood does tend to be heavier than most other lumber because of this alone. But the weight that people really notice when it comes to treated lumber is the water weight that the wood picks up while being treated. The same board will only weigh around 23 pounds after it has had time to dry out.
