Got the deck done and stained with a Natural Cedar. Still need to do a wrap around step. Next up is to build the outdoor kitchen frame.

Did you use pressure treated 2 x 6?

I did PT 2x8 for the rim joist and ledger board and cross beams, 2x6 PT for joists and 5/4 x 6 for the decking. The 5/4 x 6 were the same price as the 1 x 6 so I went with a thicker decking.

Did you use a sprayer to apply the stain?

I used a mop style thingamajig....LOL...can't recall the exact name now. You fill the tank and it has a pad. There's a small bristle in the middle that get's between the boards which is nice. I got it at home depot.

stairs added a few months ago. If we stay here (house on market) I plan on doing an outdoor bar at the foot of the deck. That's why I've left it unfinished.

Do you need a special kind of stain to stain the PT wood? I am contemplating building one and wasn't sure if the PT stuff stained well..
