Treated Lumber

I built a work bench with Menards lumber. What options are there for "treating" the wood? Besides painting it? If I stain the wood must I also apply some sort of protecting agent? Thanks.

Re: Treated Lumber

Menards? I would be more concerned on the type of wood rather than the place you bought it from or who made it.
