I plan to replace outdoor wooden stair planks. They are exposed to Florida heat and rain. I planned to paint them brown so they match their peers.
However, do they need any other treatment so that they will endure the test of time?

Best Answer
You would want to treat them with a waterproofing/sealer first and then wait the required dry time before painting them.
You might be better off staining them brown. Stairs take beating and paint might just crack and peel off. There are a lot of stain/sealers out there to choose from.
