Rob, I thought of stain as well. Problem is mildew penetrates stain far into the wood. Also stain doesn’t stop carpenter bees and other boring insects as well as paint. Paint also slows checking quite a bit.
I let the wood dry a few weeks before painting (I put in the sun on sunny days.) I can get it to about 12 or 14% moisture content.
