Polygon-
This is the sort of half-assing I can get on board with. So if I were to treat all cut ends with deck protect (including those ends of cut frame lengths that will be screwed together) and then give the finished deck a coat (on the rationale that the side facing the weather is going to do most of the heavy-lifting re water repelling) I might not be entirely negligent?

I am just about to put my basic decking together. Will anyone tell me I don't need to bother treating (either the frame, or the boards, or ideally both) with anything as pressurized timber should be fine? I assume the advice is apply 'deck protect' or similar to everything liberally. But obviously I'd rather not if I can get away with it....
