Stain before buildingdeck
You also need to prep. Best is to build and let is season exposed to natural elements. After a few months then clean, brighten and stain. There is more to it then moisture content when it comes to new wood. Look at Armstrong Clark stain for BC.
i thought that you have to stain all 4 sides of your deck boards. How would you do this after the dck is built?
No you do not need to stain all sides. No need and no advantage.
