treating wood for raised bed...

What did you use to treat/protect the wood for raised beds?
we've bought decking board which has been treated but I want to stain it another colour, but not sure if i'm limited to what i can use as dont want to put anything on it if it effects soil/veg!

Hi ..Courgette...decking is steam/heat treated, so any water based preservant would be ideal, its cheap and you can get it in an array of colours now.
Bye..PAH
