Staining/coating pressure treated pine

I’m making an outdoor sofa from pressure treated 2x4. I didn’t want to paint it because i felt it would look worse over rime (I was gonna paint it white).
It will be an outdoor sofa but will be underneath patio covering with only 2-3 hours of sun per day.
What should i use to stain and protect with?

It won't look like that. That is cedar. If you are using pressure treated, I would stain it because stain doesn't chip. However, you need to give the new wood a few months to dry out or the stain won't adhere properly. Good luck.

Unless against for some reason, just buy Cedar and be done with it.

All suggestions above are good and very true.
FWIW,
I've always used just regular yellow can Minwax stains and once I am done I let dry a day or two then apply a polyurethane over it. Never had an issue with outdoors stuff going this route. However, wood must be dry before doing any of that.
