I recently bought a product called Timbersil for a deck in western MA.  
It is a pressure treated wood using silica as opposed to a chemical and 
is claimed to be at least the equivalent of regular pressure treated for 
decay resistance, termites, etc.  It looks and smells like yellow pine.  
Beautiful stuff.  Costs slightly more than regular pressure treated if 
you can get it locally.  I had to have mine shipped from factory which 
adds to the cost but I am delighted with the product and expect that 
deck to still be there long after the house has crumbled.

Best wishes,
