Just wondering why wood siding or exterior trim/fascia etc is not PT? Wouldn’t it be better for it to be?
Thanks

on a properly designed and built house, there is no need for PT siding. water does no hang out on verticle surfaces, and painting is done anyways.
Where I repair rot on exterior trim and siding, it is always because of poor flashing and detailing work.
Using PT adds cost and another level of problems.
