Question:

We have a deck made out of pressure treated wood. Should we put a water sealer on it every year to make the wood last longer.

Answer:

I won't make the wood last appreciably longer so if you want to change the colour you might want to paint or stain it but that means creating yourself an annual job so you might take that into consideration.
