There has been a little warping and shrinkage, but it's like 20 years old. It is under cover but exposed to weather.
I don't know where to purchase it, but have you heard of a new type of treated lumber that has glass infused into it? It looked like the best of all worlds. Paintable, insects hate it, rot resistance, doesn't warp, etc.
Here is a distributor near you...

I'm curious how much it costs as opposed to cedar or pressure treated.
