What Wood To Use For Pergola?
A client of mine wants me to build a pergola for him and paint/stain it white. I have always used western red cedar to build these. To save some money he has asked me to build it using pine. I suggested pressure treated lumber but he does not want to wait all summer for the wood to dry out to apply the paint/stain. If painted/stained properly, will pine hold up over time?

He can either wait 4-6 weeks to stain it, or pay to build another in a few years. Patience is a virtue, for him and for you. Double posts are against the TOS, not to mention confusing and irritating.
