Makes pine rot and termite proof for many years.
Without it pine will rot real quick.

Pressure treated wood is resistant to rot and insect damage. It will last twice as long as untreated wood outdoors or in contact with the ground.

Ummm... to get the preservative inside. Maybe I don't understand the question though. Can you be more specific?
