The CCA trellis I stained two years ago looks like I stained it
yesterday. Let the wood dry first to help the stain penetrate.

It will if it is dry. One problem with PT wood is that it is
saturated with the nasty liquid preservatives. I have used it but I
hate it. I'd use cypress, cedar, redwood, or white oak, even at 3X
the cost.
Yes... but paint and stain work better if you let the wood dry out first.
Unfortunately the wood usually warps as it dries. Try to get the driest PT
wood that you can when you purchase. Most of the PT wood I see is still
very wet from the process.

Gosh, my deck holds it's stain pretty well. You using a deck stain or
something that was left out of the question?
