Very common here in the East. 5/4 Board is commonly used when talking about Boards for fencing. It's exactly what my son sided my woodshed out of...I've been a Carpenter for awhile too but have never heard of 5/4 or 3/4. What is that?

Never used it but have used the Thompson's Water Seal and wasn't very impressed with it......Well folks,
Here we go again with the shed project. I got BEHR Penetrating Oil for the pressure treated plywood shed floor for extra protection, and I let the plywood sit for about a week now. I was gonna put the oil on today since it is a beautiful 63 degree day, and considering I never used this stuff before I like a good boy this time read the instructions on the can.
The first thing it says on the can is "MUST PREP", and to use BEHR NO. 63 All In One Wood Cleaner. I called the Home Depot guy and he says to let the wood sit for a few months so it completely dries out but if I want the shed up before next month to get the cleaner then I can put the oil on sooner than later.
I asked my stepdad what he thought, and he says it is up to me if I wanna spend my extra money on it but he wouldn't bother with the cleaner he would just put an extra coat of the oil on it.
What does everyone think, should I get and use the cleaner first or not??
Thanks In Advance!

I hear that stuff is junk
I'm convinced it is too after just 1 gallon. But imo, the best way to protect any kind of wood is to paint it really good or plastic coat it but paint may be better than plastic coating it or just cover it with flashing.I hear that stuff is junk
I work in the lumber industry, common lumber industry talk.. everything is 1/4's for some reason? When I first started it drove me mad.5/4 means 5 1/4's......? Never heard of it called out that way until today. 5 quarters is 1 1/4" board.....
Just put the shed up and forget it. It's like building a deck, you build it, let it dry then periodically stain or seal it. You already bought pressure treated so you're good.Well folks,
