Down here, all pressure treated is Southern Yellow Pine (SYP). The new Arsenic-free treatment is a little more yellow and bleaches out rather quickly. After about six months it can be coated with a natural colored protectant (I use Benjamin Moore ArborCoat). If you clean and recoat it, it stays pretty nice, but over time weather gets to all of it. I did my dock with it about 3 years ago and it still looks great. Below is a pic from back when I first did it.
When I redo it in another month I'll post a pic of how it looks now.
Yup, I have played banjo for a good while, though I'll never be a master. Do you pick?
