Best stain for treated wood on a treehouse in NE Ohio?

9 years ago

We are building a large treehouse for our children out of treated lumber. We have rather harsh seasons here and the treehouse is in the woods. I want to sand and stain the decking before it goes up, but am unsure of which product will be best for this type of thing. Thanks in advance.
