Andrew: Yeah, the wood is all pressure treated with some sort of copper based preservative. I think it's good for 20 years of direct ground contact. The only thing that happens over time is the exposed wood dries out and will eventually require some sort of finish. Some of our decking that's in the shade gets slippery at times with algae, but I just power wash it with a little bleach and it's good as new.
