Wolmanized lumber is a pressure-treated lumber sold in North America
for outdoor use. The reason Google researchers had so much difficulty
is that in the U.K., it's sold as Tanalith or Tanalised wood.
The Wolmanizing process is a trademark of Arch Wood Protection, Inc.,
of Smyrna, GA. The company has facilities in many countries,
including the U.K. As the company notes, "Wolmanized wood is a
particular brand of pressure-treated wood; it has been processed using
WolmanŽ preservative." Arch Products has long had a U.K. laboratory
and factory:

Tanalith E preservative, which removes the chromated/copper/arsenate
(CCA) preservative used in earlier processes, is described by Arch

Google search strategy will turn up many suppliers by searching for:
"tanalised lumber" in .uk domains
We were lost there for a while in the translation from American to
English, but hopefully this gets you the wood you need!
