Decking Stain

[fcwoods99]

Just complete my decking ( one week ago) and due to work and rain !!!!!! I have not treated yet . Do I need to treat the first year as it is already treated (got boards from wickes)
The reason I ask is a friend at work has not treated his for a year and he said it want be a problem !!
Some expert advice would be good thank you :!:

It depends if it was treated before you bought it or not?if it wasnt then you need to treat is as soon as possbile but if you bought it ready treated then you dont need to do it for a while.
