My husband and I are trying to plan a fence. Our deck and porch are cedar and I like that look. My husband would like to use treated wood because it is cheaper but I think it looks too green. Is there a wood/stain combination that we can use to look more like cedar, yet save on cost?

Thanks much,
Christina

In time, the pressure treated wood will turn a silver color similar to that of cedar.

Hope this helps.
