Treated lumber can last anywhere from a few years to several decades underwater, depending on factors like the type of treatment used, water conditions, and exposure to marine organisms. Generally, pressure-treated wood with copper-based preservatives may last longer than untreated wood but can still degrade over time due to rot and biological activity. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend its lifespan. In some cases, specialized treatments for aquatic environments can significantly enhance durability.
