This is what I did on my last house. A good sealer on boards will help also.

note: Do not attempt to stain /paint or seal any treated lumber until it's completely dried out. This can take up to 8 months. Take a small piece of aluminum foil,tape it down with scotch tape, check every week for moisture on the foil. Once you can lift it up and there is no moisture then you can do whatever you want to the wood.
