New decking advice

My builder will be installing a new wooden decking in my back garden. Can any please advice whether I need to do the following on pre-treaded Seclo timber or is this over the top?

  • for the frame, paint the timber with Sikagard Universal 5 Star Wood Treatment Clear from Screwfix before the frame is created and then use this on the cut ends.
  • for the decking panels, use the same wood treatment and then coat this with Cuprinol Decking Oil and Protector. Finally apply decking paint.

Appreciate your views.
Thanks

Have you considered decking made of composite? No maintenance.
