Nope, the copper is not friendly to aluminum in a wet inviroment.
Is ther copper in pressure treated plywood?


Yup. Used to be copper arsenate (CCA). Now it is a copper only solution.

You can still get CCA lumber at a marine supplier.


I know, but at least here, could not find any in the San Francisco Bay area.
Maybe Oregon.
