Pressure treated wood question......

Can pressure treated wood be stained? And does it look crappy or OK? I'm redoing part of my deck and would like to use pressure treated, but only if I can paint or stain it brown.

TIA.

I have used redwood oil-base stain on wolmanized wood.

The color did not turn out as I thought because of the green base color the wood started off.

YMMV

Make sure the wood has completely dried before any treatment. I was once told to wait a year.

My wife's uncle used transmission fluid on a fence and it looked great.

I don't think there's a problem staining wolmanized wood, but if you try to stain womanized wood you'll get kicked in the nuts. [;D]

Sure can.
When *she* was "pressure treating" my "wood", she left a lip[b]stick[/b] stain on it.
I guess my wood was "womanized".
