I am building a knee board in my shower/Steam shower covered with travertine marble. The wall will be approx. 3' X 3.5' high and I was planning on using PT wood. I will attach one end to my CB block wall and a tarazza floor with blue tapcons. I read somewhere not to use PT wood but to use another type of wood. The only reason I can think of would be because if the wood is not dry from the treatment it will might warp. Is this the case or is PT fine? Thank you.

sunnfun, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
I have never heard that before. Myself, if I was doing the work, I would use the PT as it is going to be in a moist environment. Good luck.
