Hi,

Just checking if we need to stain or apply any type of preservative to
increase the longevity of pressure treated wood? The paint store is saying
yes but I'm thinking they may be a bit biased..


To increase the longevity a finish should be applied. Cabot Decking
stain is an excellent product (about 6 or so colors)--reapply every
3-4 years.
