Actually have never had a problem with paint peeling on PT provided
the lumber was "dry".
I guess I never got to that level of dry. *And... I've painted as much as a
year after installation.
and you far better off using composite decking because over time PT
wood still fails.......
Agreed.
Look at the ongoing issues with composites. *The promise on the showroom
floor is not what people actually realize a couple of years down the road..
