No fence paint does not have as much wax in it and it wont last very long before you have to paint it again. As decking has a lot of foot traffic as obviously a fence does not. Take it from me I found out the hard way.
Yes deck paint is more expensive but will last a long time.
After the deck has weathered to the point of being gray, approximately six months, you can prime, then paint the deck. However, many solid color stains are designed to go over fresh pressure treated wook without any problems down the road.
Yes, they are both wood
Deck paint is usually formulated to be more resistant to foot traffic, so deck paint will look better for longer and you won't have to re-paint as often..
Yes, you can, but it won't wear as well as deck paint.
NO, not on treated lumber. Almost anything will come off within a year.
Two or three weeks after the deck is built. You just have to wait for the lumber to dry out so the stain will penetrate the wood.
It makes a difference if you are putting it on a deck, as you suggest. Oil paint may not survive more than a year on an outdooor deck.
Azek deck boards can be purchased for around $3.00 / lf on the internet, 15-20% higher at lumber yards.

NO, not on treated lumber. Almost anything will come off within a year.
If you want to install an outdoor deck and live in a climate that gets a lot of rain or extreme weather your best bet is to use treated lumber, almost every type of lumber can be bought pre treated, so whatever your deck design is it will coordinate.
Almost nothing will stick to treated lumber over a year. I've tried many things but with no real success.
Depends on what is with treated with. If you mean lumber treated to resist rot and insects, such as wood used on a deck or fence post- NO. The treatment chemicals are toxic- and so is the smoke from burning that wood.
When using pressure treated wood you should look for a screw specifically rated for use in ACQ (pressure treated) lumber or use stainless steel.The greed coating may be an ACQ coating but you would have to check the package.You should NOT use zinc deck screws as the copper content in ACQ lumber will react with it causing the screws to corrode.
The average cost of a deck built of pressure treated lumber in 2011 was roughly $33. You can safely assume a slightly higher cost today. With some planning and adjusting you can lower this cost slightly.
Treated lumber should be used in outdoor construction. There are different types of treated lumber, some are for above ground use and some are for below grade use.
treated pine
You might be referring to 'pressure treated' lumber, or lumber that has been milled but not dry.
Older pressure treated lumber known as CCA was treated with 3 substances, Chrome, Copper, and Arsenic. Newer treated lumber intended for consumer contact is now treated with different chemicals, such as copper/boron. Lumber NOT intended for consumer contact, such as buried or submerged lumber may still be CCA treated. PS- it is not a good idea to burn ANY treated lumber. If it kills bugs and fungi, it is likely not real good for you, either.

You can purchase lumber to build a wood deck at any hardware store, such as Home Hardware or Lowe's. You can also go to specialty stores to choose from lumber of a higher quality.
