Treat New Dock?

LIforrelaxin · 09-27-2022, 09:26 AM

If you have built a deck with Pressure treated wood, I suggest just leaving it alone.... People talk about sealing pressure treated wood all the time.... Why? I certainly don't understand the logic, if your going to treat the wood on a regular basis just by regular wood and save a few bucks...

My dock is pressure treated... yep from time to time, I have to replace a floor board or two.... But that is just normal.... every few years I take a pressure washer to it, to clean it up.... but that is about it....

I do the same thing with my pressure treated Decks as well... they are going on 30 years......
