Ecolife treated wood has an integrated stabilizer that repels water for up to three years. However, you should apply a water repellent every two years or more often depending on climate. Wood in exterior, above ground applications will go though normal wet/dry cycles with exposures to rain, snow, sun, etc. The stabilizer also helps reduce cracking and keep boards straighter.
Yes, after it dries and can accept a stain, use either water-based or oil-based stains or paints. Oil-based stains or semi-transparent paints are recommended because solid paints in heavily traveled walkways may wear off over time.
