Wouldn't rough cut hemlock be far cheaper, stronger and durable than PT? PT is brittle stuff and cracks, splinters, easily.
The PT around here is southern yellow pine ("SYP"), a soft wood. I've never seen it "brittle" or cracking.
I can get 1" hemlock barn siding, but I've never seen 2" around here.
