Here in San Diego, it about .30-50 cents more per BF for redwood then treated. Pine does all kinds of things as it dries. CA has made it expensive because of the chemicals in the wood. They have also changed to chemical to treat the wood so only last about 5 years or so.
I'm not saying it a bad choose and won't last....
Just my 2 cents......
the stuff i had is graded for decking (HEM FIR) and posting so i think i will be okay and i have used several pieces past 8 months that have been directly exposed to weather and they are holding up well
