Well I don't know if you were being facetious or not, but I didn't know there was treated cypress? |

#1 Cyprus boats were made from this
#2 Cedar fence posts are made from these #3 White Oak barns are sided with this #4 Yellow Poplar barns are sided with this too IMHO edited to add- Pressure treated woods are only treated to a depth of about .400-.500. If you expose the untreated wood beneath it will rot from the inside out. I think that there is some out now that is treated through and through but is is expensive. Look for some Cyprus. |

there are 100 year old homes in the keys with cypress roof decking that is in 99% percent condition.

Cypress is #1. Rot proof, termites won't eat it, it lasts forever. "Heart Pine" (fat wood) is also impervious to everything but fire (goes off like a bomb), but it will drip sap in the heat. Most everything around here is built of pressure treated pine.

I don't know about treated lumber, but cedar holds up pretty well to humidity. It's used in humidors for cryin' out loud.

You could always dress it up with redwood or ceder fence slats.
There is nothing better for a dog fence than chain-link fence.

PT has a tendency oy warping. If you want to use PT run 3 stringers instead of two. I did not do a chain link fence at my house but did a hurricane fence
