I don't know if this is the best, but a typical product and process would be the application of CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate) to the wood under relatively low pressure. That process is commonly referred to as 'pressure treating' and leads to long term protection against a salt-water environment. Wolmanized wood refers to a specific brand of pressure treated wood.

Pressure-treated wood is one of the most popular choices for building a deck. It is important to check the exact type of pressure-treated wood that is being used, however. Some wood is designed to only be used above ground. Other types of wood contain a sealant that allows the wood to be used in the ground so that moisture will not cause the wood to rot prematurely. Understanding the difference between these two types of pressure-treated wood can help to make a deck that will last as long as the house it is attached to.
