Tip: Before nailing in place, stain downward-facing pressure treated 2 x 4s and other boards (such as the underside of decking).
To achieve the best results, apply at least two coats of latex paint with a brush.
Consider using a clear sealant to protect the surface if you want to show off the natural wood grain and color while also ensuring a higher level of protection.
A stain-and-sealer product provides both protection and pigmentation, but sealants should not be used on top of stained wood.
Choose a UV-resistant sealant when sealing pressure-treated wood.
Sealant should be applied in the same manner as stain.
Many building codes require pressure treated wood in retaining walls, ground contact lumber, and other exterior wood projects. It is primarily made of southern yellow pine. Pressure treated wood staining can help decks, fences, and other structures look better and last longer.
