I am in the process of reviving a deck that has not been stained for over 4 years or more. It appears that some of the deck was built with cedar and some of it was built using green treated. My question to all is after cleaning the deck with a solution and power washing it, what deck stain product would you recommend? Will there be any problems using the same stain to make the deck match since some is green treated and the other parts are cedar? Thanks for your help and answers

Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important

There is no transparent penetrating wood stain I know of which will give you an even colour across two dissimilar woods. You will need to use a solid stain, which is very much like paint but penetrates more. It is a common product to use on decks, however it does wear off and will need to be re-applied periodically.
Some products to not adhere well to PT wood. Check with the manufacturer of the one you would like to apply before purchasing it. He may recommend a primer or recommend a different product altogether.

I recently added some new cedar stairs to an old PT deck. Then we stained it all with Superdeck-redwood stain. The cedar was a different
color but the owner loved it...
I would try some on a sample ...it makes pressure treated wood beautiful
and wears well.
