# Do I have to put a protective coating on my WoodBlocX structure once l have built it?

No - WoodBlocX is pressure-treated for durability so extra surface treatments are not necessary at all.

You can paint WoodBlocX with any water-based exterior wood paint - please allow the wood to dry out for a few weeks before doing this.
