I’d treat the points of the frame that are either buried or unlikely to dry once damp. Probably overkill if the pressure treated timber was done right, but you can’t really be sure.
To be fair the deck surface benefits from cleaning and oiling every six months or so, just got to get lucky with the weather.

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....
