Fix the post securely to the deck frame or joist using appropriate stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanised hardware to prevent corrosion in outdoor conditions. The timber will accept paint, exterior stain or decking oil once fitted, though the cut ends should be treated with an end-grain preservative before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this newel post already treated or does it need additional preservative?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes pressure treated with Tanalith E, which protects against rot and fungal decay.
