Hello!
I want build the pergola but I want to do it in white. From my own experience I know you really can't paint pressure treated wood and have it look good, at least within the first year, plus I really don't like the look of pressure treated wood. If I paint untreated wood with white exterior grade latex paint and keep it off of the ground; With regular maintenance and repainting how long do you think the wood might hold up?
Thank you in advance!
