TANALISED Timber is safe to use for structures in and around children's play areas. With regard to any concerns that the children may 'chew' or 'eat' the treated timber, we have to conduct safety studies to demonstrate safe use of our products as part of their approval process. These studies have shown that the preservative within the timber would not cause harm to a child in the quantities that they are able to 'eat' or 'chew'.

If it's tanalised wood (usually green) that is pressure treated with some pretty deadly chemicals. I think Arsenic is part of the mixture. I only handle it with gloves on. I would definitely look for a child friendly option like pine.
