Is it beneficial or harmful to apply stain to all sides of wood decking and framing material possibly before boards are installed. This deck will be full sun in a high humid tropical like climate. The deck itself is appx 4 ft above grade. Decking and frame will be constructed SYP ground contact treated lumber. Was planning to use Cabot Australian Timber Oil but after reading multiple posts I am leaning towards the TWP100 or Resore-A-Deck semi transparent for the decking and a solid color stain for posts, framing & hand rails. Please advise your thoughts.

You cannot pre stain wood and you do have to weather and prep: https://www.deckstainhelp.com/staining-a-new-deck/
