Hi good people.
Could some one please let me know how long do I need to wait before painting fresh treated pine palings?

(unseasoned) CCA treated timbers should be allowed to Air dry for 28 fine days prior to painting. Due to the unstable nature of Wet, Unseasoned Treated Pine, there will likely be some movement in the timber during this air drying period.
If you are using Kiln Dried CCA treated timbers from my knowledge it can be painted at around 7 days.
Although most recommended that a primer be used, your paint retailer may recommend a quality paint that does not require it.

Thank you for the info.
I think I'll wait a month or two before painting to be sure.
