 We put in a new cedar deck a year ago (Victoria) and are wondering what, if anything, we should put on it. I looked at the Lifetime Wood Treatment and tried a small amount on a piece of the cedar, but am not sure that this is the right product. I see that you mention Sikkens products more often than the Lifetime product and am wondering what would be the best choice. Can the deck just be left to weather naturally? Thanks |
|
 Life time wood treatment is a product that weathers the wood to a patina grey color right away.Without any treatment on your deck the natural sun will eventually do the same thing.A south facing deck will weather faster than a north facing deck because of its sun light exposure.Lifetime is often used when decks are on south and east side of house and the consumer wants the same look.It is not a sealant from water nor does it have any fungal protection.It is a one time application to make the deck look evenly patined right away.
Sikkens is a product that protects the wood from sun ,moisture,mold, mildew and brings out the beauty of the grain.It does however require maintenance,again depending on how much sun it recieves and its proximity to the ground.
If you like the patina look use the lifetime or wait for the sun to do somewhat the same thing.If you love the look af the grain of cedar and its color variations then use the Sikkens |

| Hi, I am considering using cedar to build an ornamental box, the dimensions are 4" X 3" X 20" . The stock that I will be using will be either 1/4 or 1/2 inch. Do you think that I would have a warping problem?
Thank-you, Len |
|
| You should have no problem with 1/2 material for your project, however, it would be a good idea to put a stain or clear coat on it to prevent cracking and warping. |

| We have just installed a 6x6 cedar beam in our house. It was freshly cut and was perfect. Weeks later and some drying it is cracking quite badly.
We are now thinking of replacing with a new beam,is there anything we can do to prevent the cracking from happening again or fill the cracks with something in the original beam. |
|
| The only thing I can recommended is that you put a stain on it immediately..Three coats of the Sikkens product will help prevent cracking. |

| We are thinking of buying a house that has untreated cedar on it's exterior and is not too nice looking. Can we stain untreated weathered cedar? |
|
| You can stain untreated weathered cedar but the problem with doing so is it won't look that great when finished..I would recommend that you use a Bio wash stripper on it first to get the cedar back to it's original color then stain it..

| I am building a screen porch on an approved concrete slab with footers. I want to use 4x4 cedar posts 4s4 spaced 44 inches apart. A 4x10 beam will sit on the posts supporting a 12 x 24 hipped roof. I need to know if the cedar posts will support the roof load. My building inspector accepts 4x4 pt posts. Are the cedar posts comparable to pt for strength in a simple porch construction like this one? |
|
| Gathered from the information you supplied us the support beams (such as your 4x10)should be fir..Cedar is not a structural wood and should not be used as support beams. |

| We are renovating an older home and have bought unfinished cedar shakes to apply to half of it. Is it necessary to apply a stain/preservative to the whole shake before putting it on the house. We have heard that the best way is to dip them. With fall here it would be so much more convenient to put the cedar on the house and spray the preservative/stain afterward - possible? |
|
| It is not necessary to prestaing shakes..Cedar shakes can last 30 years with stain or not..Yes, there is no problem with spraying the shakes once they're installed on the house. |

We want to have a cedar tongue and groove ceiling but since a woodstove is our only source of heat, the house will not be heated unless we are there. Will the temperature fluctuations cause the boards to warp. Some warping is ok because it isn't structural but obviously too much would be a problem. Thanks for your advice! |

| We are currently working on our cedar deck and are about 80% complete. We have heard differing opinions about whether to stain the deck now or whether to leave it until next summer. What is your opinion on this and, if we do leave it to next summer, will this damage the cedar deck boards? |
|
| If you wait till next summer your boards will grey a little bit. Waiting will not damage the boards. If you do wait you will need to sand your deck to get the grey look off the boards. Then you can stain. |

Treat it with product? Paint it? Basically what I am looking for is what is going to last the longest with the least amount of maintenance becasue it is such a large area. Thanks |
|
| Cedar Shakes will last for 25 to 30 years whether you paint them or stain them. Paint or stain will help a bit because the shakes are not taking on as much moisture but if you want the least amount of maintance I would just let them weather and not worry about it. |

Should I sand it first to remove "mill glaze"?

I've been told to install them without gaps. What would your recommendation be? If there is a gap, what is the minimum gap that should be installed? |
|
| Decks 10" off the ground have to have the boards gapped so moisture under the deck will have a place to go.Ground level or even up to 2ft high decks should be installed with 1/8 inch spacing so the deck can dry after rain or snow. |

Hello Cedar Shop Experts,
My husband and I built our deck last summer (2010). The framework is pressure treated and the deck, steps and rails are cedar. It was recommended to us to use Thompsons WaterSeal (clear). We followed the directions to the letter. Be sure the wood was completely dry before applying, only apply one coat, and make sure there was at least 2-3 days of dry weather for it to cure. We thought we were doing something good for our deck. And it seemed like a good idea until after it was applied and it was too late. It completely changed the look of our cedar deck, and when it rained the water would bead for a bit and then pool in areas. When it dried there were dirty water marks everywhere! In a matter of weeks our deck boards looked like it had been around for years. We were so disappointed. We decided to leave it until this summer to try and remedy the ugliness Thompsons WaterSeal has caused. So far our only plan of action is to wait for the rain to stop and then rent a belt sander and try to get the deck back to its unfinished state.
Do you have any recommendations or suggestions about what steps we should take, and maybe what type of product we can use to protect if from the elements but won't make our cedar deck look awful?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
|
|
| Yes I have had customers complaine about this product dozens of times before.You are correct,renting a sander and removing the stains and wax from the Thompsons to get the original cedar back is the only way to go.Be sure to ask for 60 or 80 grit sand paper for your sander.After completion allow the wood 2 days to recover.We carry the Sikkens line of deck products and depending on your decks hieght from the ground determens which one to use.If your deck is 2 ft or less from the ground you would apply 1 coat of Sikkens SRD.If the deck is higher than that and the boards are spaced properly you can use the 2 coat Sikkens deck finish.

| We have a cabin in the northwoods of Wisconsin and want to upgrade our dock. We want to use cedar but also want to have minimum maintenance issues over the years. Thinking about your "lifetime" graying product vs putting on a color stain. With the latter, does that require a sealant too? And how often would it need to be redone? Is the lifetime graying product really a one-time process?
Thank you for your expertise.
Lynn Hartmann |
|
| Life time wood treatment is a product that adds a weathered patina look to your deck "immediatley".Untreated cedar will eventually turn a simalar color over time anyways.If you have ever seen a cabin or house with a cedar shingle or shake roof you will know what I am talking about.The cedar roofs last 30 to 40 years with no coatings at all because of the rot resistant oils contained in the wood fibre.It is the perfect wood to use for a dock however I would not recomend putting any sealant or uv protection because you will have to maintain the process yearly. |

| I have a 30 year old house with cedar siding. I want to have it painted this summer, but there are a lot of places where big knots have fallen out, and also two areas over windows that woodpeckers have ravaged, rows of big holes.
Can a person have selected cedar boards replaced on their house, is this a practical approach? Do you do this kind of work? |
|
| Cedar bevel siding is very easy to replace as long as it was installed properly.Just remove the nails and let it slide down and remove pc.Cut new pc to length,slide it under above row and nail it in.The important thing to remember for anyone installing bevel siding is to make sure your nail goes through the thickest part of the siding but not through the siding below.You see bevel siding always overlaps the pc below and usually covers about one to one halve inches of the siding below it.Therefore the nail must go two inches up from the thickest part of the siding.This allows the siding to shrink and expand independantly. |

| Hello Expert!
I want to build a 12x10' ground level deck which means I have to use 2x6 joists spanning 10' with 12" c-c spacing. This seems far for 2x6 joists so I want to double them up. Will this provide appropriate strength or do I need to add another row of concrete piles half way? Currently I have 3 piles spaced at 6' at the 10' mark.
Thanks |
|
| That is cutting it close,rather than doubling every joist you should be fine with just doubling the two outside joists and perhaps the middle one aswell |

| Cedar shake roofs don't require any maintenance.Trying to keep a coating on roof shakes would be very expensive and time consuming.The grey fibrous
material you speak of is the wood cells coming loose after the sun burns off the natural glue {lignum} holding them together.The same thing happens
with asphalt shingles.Fire retardands are sort of the same problem in that they will have to be reapplied yearly because of the sun ,water,and snow roofs have to deal with. |

| Hello - I have a new cedar deck constructed with your product - it looks great and I am very happy with the quality of the decking boards I have applied Sikkens Cetol SRD after a light sanding.
The deck is now very muddy after the past few weeks of rain and kids and dogs running around. What is the best method or product to clean the deck? I own a pressure washer, but I don't want to damage the wood or the finish I just applied.
Thanks! |
|
| If we are just talking mud then spray deck with garden hose,agitate with a push broom and wash off.Grease or tree saplings have to be washed with
t.s.p. and warm water {2 tablespoons tsp per 1 gallon of water}Power washer can be used as long as the sprayer is not hitting wood directly,keep sprayer head at 45 degree angle when cleaning so that water has to travel 3ft before indirectly hitting wood. |

| My house was built in the mid 1970's with Western Red Cedar interior paneling. It was hung with the rough side out. Previous owner covered this up with cheap paneling to lighten the interior.The house has an open loft area so the walls are 16ft. high. I removed the paneling and most of the wood is fine with the exception of a few damaged boards that need to be replaced. The big problem is a large area of dark almost black colored panels on the main interioe wall. How do I fix that? I love the natural wood, it was not finished. Can I lighten all of the wood back to a more natural light finish? It's really dark in here....help! P.S. I am a single lady trying to fix this. |
|
| Difficult problem you have there.If it was exterior walls you could use a product called woodwash.You apply it on with a brush let it sit on the wall then power wash off with water.Not so easy to do when done indoors.If it was smooth wood it could be belt sanded to remove the dark wood.I guess the only way to do it is remove the darkened wood carefully and woodwash them in the yard and then mail them back up if possible or just replace them. |

| Re: Semi transparent cedar stain
We have applied a few coats of semi transparent stain on our cedar deck and unfortunately the horizontal boards now have uneven coloring.
How do we go about stripping the top of the horizontal boards and applying some type of clear finish, to bring our deck back to the new cedar color?
We love the color of the cedar stain that is on the vertical boards of our deck.
Hope you can help us.
Thanks,
Fred and Kathy |
|
| There is a product called Stripex that you spray onto your dry deck,let sit for 10 to 15 minutes and then powerwash off with water.
The product is biodegradable however it is recomended you presoak with water any organic plants and grass that is nearby.Let the deck dry for 3
to 5 days of nice weather.Then do a quick sand with 60 or 80 grit sandpaper.This will allow your stain to absorb into the wood more evenly.
Your horizontal planks will require more upkeep than your vertical boards
because of extra traffic and direct sun exposure. |

| Can you please e-mail me a price for 1x4 smoothe T& G
also what you recommend for Staining and how much per gallon
and how many gallon we need to cover 1036 sq ft of siding
The versatile cedar T&G product can be used in almost any application. Soffit, siding, fencing and wainscoting are just a few of the projects that are enhanced by the beauty of cedar. T&G Comes in a 1x4 and 1x6 board. Its finish is a smooth or knotty with the option to use the rough or smooth side
|
|
| Wow you should work here,1x4 tg knotty cedar comes in 8 to 16 ft lengths and costs $3.00/SQ FT,shorter lengths are usually available for 20% less.
Sikkens cetol products average around 400 sq ft per coat based on 3 coats
on the smooth side.Rough side would average arount 250 to 300 sq ft.It is always recomended to put the first cat on all 4 sides before installing the siding. |

|
| You did not mention if this is for a roof or wall on house.If this is for a wall the cedar must be cleaned with a woodwash and powerwasher to remove the grey and restore the original color of the cedar.Simply putting stain or paint over top of weathered wood will not last long.Once the wood is restored and dryed stain it by spraying it and then backbrush.
If using solid stain a primer would be recomended |

| I am going to be using an old cedar chest for an outdoor vegetable garden box. I recently sanded it down to where the entire thing is nothing but cedar. Before, there was like a poplar wood glued to the outside of the chest?
I have a couple questions though...
1). Is this a bad idea?
2). Can I paint the outside of the cedar chest to match my deck? If so, do I have to use anything special?
3). Will I have to drill holes in the bottom of the cedar chest for drainage? ( I understand your not gardeners, but I thought I would ask)
Thank You!

| Raw cedar is the best wood to use for vegetable gardens.However not knowing what kind of glue was used to join the poplar wood might be a concern,also be advised the poplar will not last long exposed to sun and water.Solid cedar would be ideal for your vegetable box |

| I have (2) 30' boat docks (30' long/6' wide and 30' long/4' wide) at my cottage and want to replace the current 2"x6" decking. It was suggested to me that you could provide advice as to my question. I am considering replacing the decks with:
a) 2"x6" pressure treated green decking boards
b) 5/4" x 7" utility grade cedar decking boards
My questions are:
1) will the 5/4" x 6" utility cedar provide enough strength and durability verses the 2" x 4" pressure treated??
2) will the utility grade cedar decking weather well (eg. resist rot, fungus and wood boring bugs, as these docks will be exposed to a lot of water ???
3) what would you suggest I do of these (2) alternatives
I am 70 years old and have install and replace these docks each year (so weight is a factor for me) and would really appreciate your honest input! Thanks so much!

|
| We stock only select tight knot cedar in 5/4.No a utility grade cedar in 5/4 will be nowhere near as structual as a 2x4 preasure treated.Appearance grade Cedar will not rot as quickly as preasure treated wood.Coastal cedar will be the most rot resistant |

| Hello I have an existing cedar fence, the post that I am replacing is made of 4” x 6” fir. I wanted to keep the look of the cedar for the fence and was wondering would it be best to replace the rotted post with cedar or pressure treated lumber i.e. Cedar tone. If Cedar, is there a product that I can use to treat the portion of the post to be placed in the ground? What are your recommendation regarding the longevity of a Cedar post.? |
|
| Cedar can last as long as treated in the ground but you must ready your post hole in the proper fashion. Its important to use gravel in the botton of the hole for drainage... 4 to 5 inches. The use of gravel in the post hole is important when using any species of wood. You dont want the wood sitting in any pooled water because this will promote decay if saturated to long.... |

| We built our cedar deck 5 years ago. Since I wanted the silvery patina look, we did not finish or seal it with anything. Two years ago we finished it with a clear sealer but that is practically all worn off. Now I would like to treat it with the LifeTime product and am wondering if I can go ahead and apply the LifeTime directly to the deck as is (with some feathery grey and some raw portions of the cedar) or should I powerwash the whole thing first with the Woodwash product to get as close to bare wood as possible, before applying the LifeTime? |
|
| You need to make sure all the old finish is off before you use the lifetime product it needs to soak in so powerwashing is the way to go |

| Hi there,
When installing shingles on a roof. would you strap the roof or put plywood down instead? And if you straped it how close together do the rows of straping need to be? Thanks Pete |
|
| Straping as opposed to plywood allows better ventilation for the shingels to breath and dry after rain or snow.Depending on what exposure you want on the shingles determins how often you should strap,usually 5 to 6 inch exposure.This of course applies only to gazebos,and tool sheds.The down side of this is the roof does not have the same strength as it would have with plywood. |

| Hi,
I am looking at finishing cedar soffit installed under a covered deck and cedar shakes installed on our exterior wall that is protected by a covered deck. Do we need to wait for summer to stain? What product do you recommend for the soffit if we want to maintain a natural look, but are also concerned with longevity. What product is best for the shakes - we were considering a semi-transparent stain. Should we be concerned about potential weathering if left for a couple of months untreated?
Thanks in advance for your help! |
|
| we recommend sikkens cetol log and siding for the shakes 2 coats should last 3 - 5 years, and cetol 1 for the soffit which if doesn't get any sunlight should only have to do 2 coats and not have to re-coat and yes you should wait until it warms up more before staining both product need the temperature to be above 10 degrees for at least 8 hours, the shakes may weather a little but when coated will come back to life. |

Last time, we had had a different product on and removed it using Stripex and Woodwash. The instructions for maintenance with the Sikkens says to use a solution of TSP, bleach and water, leave it on for 20 minutes while scrubbing with a hard brush, then powerwash and let dry before reapplying the Cetol 23.
Is the TSP solution adequate on relatively weathered wood, or should we use the Stripex and woodwash to go to the original wood?

| If the wood is weathered [turning greyish] Stripex must be used to remove the remainig Sikkens first and then Woodwash to blast off the grey.Using a power washer for both products will help |

| 2x6 rough cedar measures 1 3/4 x 5 3/4 and is still old growth wood.
Second growth cedar is not as rot resistant as old growth but still better
than pressure treated spruce because it is less likely to cup and split.

I am looking for sauna package or raw materials for a 5'x7'x7' sauna. I would want 1x4 T&G smooth for the walls, ceiling and floor. This will be an outside sauna and I will be building the base structure myself. If you stock these kits what would the price be - I am assuming these kits would come with an upper and lower bench and guard for the heater?
Also, I would need a price for the heater unit (whatever size you would recommend) as a part of this package.
I am very handy and have all of the right tools and know how to deal with the raw material as well - could I have both options priced?
Finally, would you be able to ship to Yellowknife? Either the kit or the raw materials required?

In the fall of 2006, I purchased a sauna package from you (Interior dimensions 5' X 7"). Recently, one element of the heater burned out.

| Hello;
I am going to build a sauna in my basement. The size is 5'x10'x8' high. I am on 3 outside walls and building one inside wall. Can I build the inside wall out of 2x4's and hang the door on it. What size should my RO be for one of your doors. Is there any special Vapour barrier that I need for the walls and finally what size heater do I need. I would like a heater that I can load up with rocks and throw water on.
Thank-you: Derrik
|
|
|
Yes you can build your wall from 2x4 and hang the door on it... The rough opening is 26x74... Outside walls need everything a regular outside wall would need but the inside wall only needs the reflective foil and the tongue and groove v-joint.For that particular size of sauna you will need a 9 kw heater at $810.00 (controls,rocks) included |

| The hail made an end to the vinyl siding on my daughter's house, and she is considering replacing it with horizontal beveled cedar siding. Would the 8" (covering 6") X 8' be the most economical, and what is the cost? Either by the board, or by the covered square foot? |

| Hi our sauna is 30+ years old and the wood is dull and the heater does not work. Do you sell wood conditioners/oil/stain etc for sauna wood? Also how much would your "standard" heater cost? |
|
| Very often cedar can be restored with a deep sanding,that should restore the wood and bring back the cedar smell.Most people enjoy the aroma the cedar gives off when exposed to heat and moisture and therefore you don't
want to add a anything to the walls that would block that smell.
Heater and control prices will vary depending on the size of room you are trying to heat.They start at $700 and go up from there |

| Hello
I have just had a cedar fence built. I would basically like to just maintain the natural cedar look for the fence. I have 2 questions. What is a good product to use to help to protect and maintain the color and look? And when should I apply this. I had one neighbor tell me that I should wait until spring unti lthe boards are dryer. I had another neighbour tell me that I should paint the fence asap. Help I am confused?? Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

| Once fencing is installed the boards should dry quickly,you will notice the boards shrinking slightly after completion.Two weeks of dry weather is all you need on normal rough 1 side fencing |
|
|
| Date Posted: 22/10/2010 |
|
| When applying cedar siding to a house - should both sides of the board be stained? Or just the side facing the outside? |
|
| Moisture can occur between siding and paper on house therefore whenever possible coat all six sides of siding before install |

Many Thanks |

When staining anything outside you can use a semi transparent stain but you must have a color base in it to help fend off the graying process... products that are clear will give very little to no protection from U.V rays. We carry the Sikkens line of products and have had great success with them over the last 30 years. Feel free to call us if you have any other questions on this matter or any other building material needs...Thanks |

| I just put up a cedar fence and want to stain it to keep its natural color. I was told that I had to wait 3 months to do this. Is this correct? Also, how long does it take for cedar to start to grey...if I have to wait till spring I'm nervous that the cedar will be greying.
Thanking you in advance,

ps - my cedar was purchased at your store...it's beautiful! |

| There is not a correct amount of time to wait, with the rain we have had i would wait 2 - 3 weeks. If you have to wait until spring you will notice a slight greying which can be cleaned up by power washing. |

| I am about to start on my 4th cedar lined hope chest for the youngest of my 4 daughters. They are built using mortise and tenon construction and raised panels and doweled lengths for lid and panels. Previously I have used clear fir, oak and mahogany. My Question ; Would clear cedar work for me in the total construction or is it too soft for this type of construction, and if so would it finish nicely with stain and varathane. |
|
| Clear cedar would work fine for this project.Despite the fact that as you pointed out it is softer than the above woods you have been using.Several
coats of varathane will give it strength.I would use 1 1/2 thickness for walls

| My deck has been completed out of cedar and it is starting to look like the weather in calgary is not going to cooperate. Is it a problem to wait till next summer to stain or should i put something else on to protect it?
Thanks for your help |
|
| Leaving a cedar deck unfinished over winter is better than applying a finish
to wood that is to wet to accept it.Next spring your deck will have to be sanded with 60-80 grt sandpaper to clean off the gray or patina color and bring it back to its original color.If your deck is close to the ground and your not sure it is dry enough simply place a rubber mat on the deck during
a hot day {in sunlight hopefully}and have a peek under the mat after about
30 min.If you see moisture then you will know it needs more time to dry. |

|
| Is it safe to use treated wood for a raised vegetable garden? Is cedar safer than treated wood. I believe ACQ is used in treated wood today.
Henry |
|
| ACQ wood is copper based product with other chemicals that will break down and go into the soil when the wood begins to decay.These chemicals are added
to regular spruce or fir boards by sliding a lift into a air tight space and creating a vacuum to draw the liquid into the wood.If you have ever sawed through a treated 2x4 you can see that the chemicals do not penetrate very deep at all.Cedar on the other hand has natural rot resisting oils all the way through the wood and will out last pressure treated wood. I would recommend cedar for your vegetable garden. |

| We recently build a deck with 5/4 x 5" cedar decking on a treated frame 8" above grade. We are looking for a product that will soak into the cedar, keep it from greying, keep the cedar looking as natural as possible and won't peel off. What do you recommend? |
|
| Decking that is only 8 inch above grade will require 1 coat of Sikkens SRD
probably every spring if its facing south,anything two feet and less is considered poorly ventilated and we would of recommended one coat on all six sides of the board before install. |

| Hi,
I have recently purchased 36 4" X 6" cedar fence posts from you. I've already set them in the ground with approx 3 bags of concrete for each post. I have not started building the rails and slats yet. After two days of completing setting the posts and the first rainfall, one of the posts started warping. It is now 3 inches warped from bottom to top (like a banana). This is the only post that has warped so far, all the others are straight. It's been two weeks now. Any suggestions on how to straighten the one warped post before I continue construction? |

| Hello. I will be coming in within the next few weeks to order the clubhouse shed. RIght now I am beginning the process of preparing the area where the shed will be going. Would you recommend putting down and levelling gravel crush as a base? If so how many inches will be needed and would you recommend tamping the base or would it be ok just leaving it unpacked and level? Would you recommend spacing cement patio stones on the base as well or would just a gravel crush base provide sufficient support and drainage?
Thanks for your time, |
|
| You can use just about anything as a base. 3 or 4 inches of crushed gravel works really well. The cement pads have also been a favorite with our customers. Some also use 4x4 sleepers to elevate the shed to keep a bit of air flow under the shed. as far as the gravel goes, I think most are not packing it down ... thanks |

| I am building a shed out at a rural acreage and thought I might side it with rough cut lumber for cost savings. Do you carry a 1x8x8 in rough cut siding or have any thoughts on a cost effective material to side it? |
|
|
We have many different grades and sizes in stock. 11/16 x 8 inch rough face knotty bevel siding is very popular. It is roughly three dollars a square foot and has a very nice finish that takes stain very well. |

| I am looking to keep the natural red cedar color on my new deck. (installed yesterday)
1. do I need to let the wood dry out prior to sealing or staining? (if so how long?)
2. what does a stain do to the wood compared to what a Thompson water seam type product? Do you recommend one over the other given my stated desire at the top?
|
|
|
We have a variety of products to use on a deck but there are a few things to consider before you choose one... For instance, the height of you deck from the ground, how well ventilated it is and whether or not there is much of a gap between boards. There are flat finishes and satin finishes and they both have different colors to choose from. You want to use a product that has color in it to protect it from the sun. If the product being used doesnt have a color, the wood will silver from UV damage. |

I am building a circular cedar hot tub and figured that would be the best way to go. Do you have any suggestions? as well do you have wedge tongue and groove bits for 2" material as well?
would Half round and round nose bits would compliment each other to make a large a ball joint? such as these from freud?
half round 82-120
round nose 18-138
or is there another combination I can use
thanks

| We are looking at using the Cetol® SRD product on our cedar fence. Would you recommend application prior to construction to ensure all sides are coated / stained? Should the wood be left to weather for a few days prior to applying this product?
|
|
| The fencing will not dry sitting in a lift,once the boards are spaced out so
that air can get at them then they will dry fairly fast.Yes it is a great
idea to coat all six sides of the wood before you construct your fence,especially the bottom end of the fence board which will be close to the ground |

| Our property has settled since our home was built in 2003. The backyard fence is beginning to lean toward our neighbours yard slightly but enough to affect both of our fence gates. My fence gate width has widened, my neighbours fence gate width narrowed. My fence gate won't latch because the fence posts have separated to wide. My neighbours gate won't close because his fence gate width is too narrow. I think you get the picture.
Do you sell some sort of Fence Gate Header or Arbour that I can attach to the top of my fence posts on either side of my fence gate?
Right now I have chain on both posts connected by a dual bolt connector tightened to keep the posts vertically parallel. This works but looks awful. Need something more permanent and appealing to the eye. Preferably a wood solution.
The plan would be to attach the Gate Header or Gate Arbour then remove the chain support.
Please advise. |

| Hi,
I'm looking to build adirondack chairs as a project. What type of cedar would you recommend. Clear grade kiln dried or will deck/fence material suffice (Is there such thing as clear grade decking boards). The other question is dimensions. I require about 55 linear ft. of 1 x 6 and 5 of 1 x 8 per chair (I figure maybe 10% waste) . So far my choices are: 1 x 6 (i.e. dressed size 3/4 x 5/12) not much room with having to deal with flatness etc. or 5/4 decking dimensioned down to get square and flat material or rough lumber. I don't have any issues with jointing/planing. I realize there will be price differences between the choices mentioned so if you could throw your ideas out and pricing it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |
|
| We sell those chairs and they are built out of 5/4 x6 knotty and clear cedar
but finding 8 inch wide boards can be quite tricky,2x8 is no problem |

| Heard you ad on the radio. Good stuff. 3 questions. 1. I am building a new deck this summer on 2 levels both close to grade. I am planning pressure treated under carriage with cedar decking. Should I stain the cedar or not? 2. should I look at composite instead and if so are there any deals on that material? 3. Why would I but from you guys rather than say a Totem? Thanks RB |
|
|
Cedar is a very resilient wood so its not necessary to stain it if you choose not too ... It will however turn a driftwood gray which a lot of our customers like. If you choose to stain your deck and its at ground level (or close to it) use a one coat stain only because it will allow moisture transferee though the finish without the flaking or peeling. Multi coat systems have a tendency to flake or peel at ground level because of moisture. The composite materials are the way to go if you want little maintenance and are looking for something a little different. There is a new timber-tech product out this year that is a third less the cost than its regular product... its $5.35 a square foot and the cedar 5/4x6 is $2.60 a square foot. We pride ourselves on having top quality lumber and our prices speak for them selves... Feel free to call us if you have any questions or need any prices. Thanks for the email and we hope to hear from you in the very near future... |

| I have a whole bunch of questions, I guess I'll start off by telling you that I'm working on builidng a cedar strip kayak or two so I'm looking for long clear wood
1) What species to you sell, I'm looking at western red and northern white, or both, but I'm also open to other variaties.
2) Is the clear wood available raw cut?
3) What are the actual measurements of the regular 1" x 4" standard boards? (ie how much is taken by the plainer)
4) I see by the other questions(yes I read them first) that you recommend 1x4 at $2.20/ft. for cost efficency is that price still accurate and is that for raw cut or standard, and I'm assuming that's for western red?
5) Out of curiosity (if the price is close it may still be better for me personally to use larger wood) what is the price of wider boards ie 1x6, 1x12
Thanks |
|
| We carry western red cedar smooth 4 sides kiln dried clear 1x4 actual measurements are 3/4x2 1/2 @$2.20/ft. 3/4x5 1/2[1x6] costs $4.48/ft and
1x12 will cost $10.84/ft.
Western red cedar is more rot resistant and stronger than northern white. |

| When I initially sanded my new cedar deck before applying the stain, I didn't go down far enough to remove all of the silvery weathering. As a result, the try color and pattern of the cedar did not come out. I'm going to re-sand and stain this year and wonder if you have suggestions on the best equipment to use. Specifically, am I OK using a residential grade belt sander. If so, what grit paper should I use to make sure I get the weathering sanded off but not too rough? Otherwise, what type of sander and grit should I use? Thanks... |
|
| The belt sander works just fine,use 60 grit first and then finish with 80 grit.No stain will hold up any length of time if the wood has any silver
or gray sun damage on it so be sure to get it all off.
If you have spots that are hard to reach with a sander there is a product called wood wash that you apply to the damaged area,let sit for 15 min. and
power wash off. |

| Hello! You we recommended to us by a customer of yours. My question is this. We have a new Cedar deck going in and I want to maintain the natural look of the cedar for as long as possible. What products do you recommend to prepare and protect the cedar deck and the cedar privacy wall (fence basically)?
Thank you very much.
Doug |
|
| Sikkens makes a finish called Cetol Dek Finish that works great but only if the deck is properly cured and sanded with 60 to 80 grt sandpaper.
Most cedar is sold green,meaning it can have a moisture content of up
to 35% water in its wood cells.If you are building a deck 2 to 3 ft off the
ground prestain the bottom of the deck boards before construction,then wait
two to three weeks before you sand ,and then apply 2 coats onto the face.
You will notice the gaps in between the deck boards begin to expand and that
lets you know that the moisture is coming out and ready for an oil based finish.
Fencing and vertical areas do not have to be sanded but still should be cured one to two weeks. |

| Clear kiln dried cedar is available in many tints of color,since you are going to be ripping the 1x6 into strips then 1x4 will be more cost effective

|
| Is it possible to get 4x6 smooth or sanded cedar beams? (website only has rough) |
|
| 4x6 beams and larger come only with a rough finish.This allows moisture to
slowly escape from the beam.Smooth wood traps the moisture inside and will
cause more checking {small splitting} in order for the moisture to get out.
It should also be noted that a rough finish will hold a stain or paint much
longer and provides a rich rustic look. |

| Hello,
I'm putting together a project that involves constructing a two story house inside another building, and I was wondering if I could get a quote on a material list? We're working on a pretty tight budget, so any information on bulk purchasing would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time,

| Why does some cedar have the cedar smell and not others. I would like to finish the inside of a cabin with it. Is it available? |
|
|
Cedar can loose some of its scent over the course of time but when lightly sanded, you bring some of the natural oils back to the surface and open up new pores to release the scent back into the room. This is particularly true when using aromatic cedar. As for the second part of your question, we have many different styles of sidings that could be used on the inside of a cabin. Tongue and groove v-joint would be the most common. They are available in both 4 inch and 6 inch widths. Feel free to call us for a square foot prices based on the amounts you may need. Thanks for your interest in our products and we hope to hear from you in the near future. |

| Hello,
I'm looking at making a side table from a cedar stump and was wondering if you might have 1 1/2 - 2 ft tall (approx 12-18 inch diameter) stumps for sale?
thanks kindly |

I'm afraid we don't sell cedar stumps... You may want to call a place like Bell Pole in Carsland(east of Calgary). They might have what you are looking for. Their number is 403-934-4600.Thx |

| Hi there,
Do you have in stock, 4x4 or 4x8 cedar lattice with the 1" privacy openings - you know the lattice with the smaller see through holes? |
|
|
The lattice with that small a hole is called privacy plus and was usually done in much thinner strips of lath. We stopped carrying that product many years ago because they couldn't stand the test of time. We do however carry a few others that are much thicker(3/8-3/4 inch thick lath)depending on your personal tastes! (1 1/2-2 1/4 INCH OPENING). We carry a few different grades of 4x4 and usually have so 4x8 in stock but none this time of year. we can order just about anything if you need it. Feel free to call us if you have any questions. Thanks |

| hi folks,
i have an 19 year old cedar sided home. i've only been here for 9 months but i don't believe it's been maintained to any degree over the years. the siding is approx 12" wide and runs horizontally. it has darkened over the years and i'd like to restore it back to a nice original light orange / light red finish with a clear coating.
can you tell me how to start?... meaning... "do i power wash it or sand blast it or replace it? if i can re-finish it, what coating do i need to re-apply?
can you send me back a 'step by step'??
thanks in advance,
Curt. |
|
| Pressure washing may clean it up depending on how long its been overdue for a recoat... Sometimes you will have to have it sand or soda blasted. After this process, you will most likely want a 2 or 3 coat finish applied. Depending on your exposure, this will give you 5-7 years... If you want to replace this siding, it is in the 4.50 per square foot range... 15/16x12 knotty rough face bevel. Feel free to call us if you have any more questions. Thanks |

| I am thinking about getting a 4 x 8 or 4 x 10 piece of cedar cut down to 6.5 feet to use as a mantle on a fireplace. Is cedar as a wood approriate to use as a fireplace mantle and are the pieces straight enough to use as a mantle. Thanks. |
|
| 4x10 and 4x12 cedar is perfect for mantles and they are readily available
in rough cut pcs.4x8 would be special order,two weeks to bring in. |

| I am planning to make outdoor garden benches for my rental triplex in Calgary. I am thinking of a gable roof covered bench with side walls for wind protection. About 6ft long.Do you have any plans or suggestions? I have built an out-door skating rink for one of the tenants children, and therefore am looking for weather protection with the bench. ...Thank You,cliffo
|
|
| ah, difficult to answer without pictures,but imagine a 6 ft bench that is
supported by 4 4x4 posts that are 8 ft tall,besides supporting the bench
the posts can used as anchors to nail on 1x6 tongue and groove cedar on both
the sides and back for protection from wind,the posts supporting the front
of bench could be 1 ft shorter to give a single pitch for water to run off.
Best to come on down and we can show you on paper |

| We are remodelling our cedar log home and have a 13.5" support column to cover. We would like to put cedar on top of the column. Would you have 1x16 available for this or something else that may work?
|
|
| We only stock cedar up to 11 1/4" wide,we can special order wider material
but we would need to know how much you need before we could price.Also you
would need 3 to 4 weeks to bring in. |

| i have a customer who wants me to stain a new cedar fence they just put in. the guy who installed it told them to wait to stain it (let it weather a few months). winter is almost here and i would like to know if i can actually stain it right away or is it best to let it weather and turn gray then power wash it and stain it in the spring. i have read posts about "mill glaze" and im wondering if that will be a factor when im planning to use an oil stain |
|
| The fence can be stained 2 weeks or so after installation,provided the weather is going to be above 10 degrees when using oil based products.
If you choose to wait until spring and there is evidence of some greying
then the boards will have to be power washed. |

| I am replacing the metal soffit from my house and I would like to have cedar in that area... can you please tell me what style of wood is recommended and how do you vent it. I notice you have a large selection of gable end vents on your website, is that all that is needed, is there no product to vent the soffit area? |
|
| I have 1x4 and 1x6 t&g cedar in both knotty and clear as well as vented soffit t&g sorry no picks but have some in stock if you would like to come down and see it |

| I'm building a rather large gate to match a client's existing fence and was wondering what your opinion is of the maximum span for a cedar gate. Right now I'm looking at about 9.5' for each side (19' total) fastened to a 6x6 buried 4.5' deep (sonotubed with 3 bags of quikrete in each) supported by a wheel at the end of each gate. Just wanted to make sure that I'm not making a big mistake by building something this wide. Thanks for the advice. |
|
| the only thing i might be concerned about the gate is wider that a regular fence panel and might sag in the middle otherwise there is nothing wrong with building that size of gate. |

| Hello Cedar Shop:
We are making a walk in closet and would like to line it with cedar. Is there such a thing as cedar beadboard sheets? Do you have them? If not, what do you recommend for lumber? I am thinking 1x6.
Thanks.
Heather & Ray |
|
| There is no cedar bead board unfortunately, but we do have 1x4 and 1x6 t&g cedar in both knotty and clear. |

| Should we be finishing our cedar deck in this Calgary snowy weather? The final construction on our deck will be done this week by our landscaper. The concern is that if left over the winter untreated it will grey, and create a look we really don't want. The look we would like to acheive is a two tone stain, a darker outside edge on two planks and skirt. and a lighter inside. What options do we have? I am so very confused. |
|
| You can wait to stain until spring your will only slightly weather and we do have a product that will bring the color back if it does grey to much |
|
|

| do you have a product called long life. its a powder that you mix with water. for decks and fences |
|
| we have a product its called life time wood treatment you mix with water and it weathers the wood instantly |

| I have a cedar fence that was installed 2 years ago. I have not stained it and was planning to let it fade and age naturally. I am now thinking that I may want to stain it. I like the look of natural stained cedar.
Can I stain my fence after leaving it unstained for a few years. Some parts have started to grey but it still looks good when it is wet.
What do you recommend? |
|
| Yes you can stain, as long as it's not completely grey. If it is you will need to use a product called woodwash which will remove the grey, than you can finish your fence. Thanks |

| I like to cook on the bbq using cedar planks
(cedar plank salmon for example)
Can I use cedar fence boards and just cut them up.
Is the cedar fence board clean and free of any chemicals, or have they been washed with anything?
The cedar boards that can be bought at the bbq shops are too thin and very expensive.
|
|
| Yes, you can use any cedar. Cedar has it's own natural oils in it so it doesn't get washed with any chemicals. |

| Hi, we attempted to stain our deck with a Behr product and don't like it at all. Is sanding the easiest and safest way to get that stain off? The deck installer originally recommended your outfit but it is a ways away from us so we went to home depot. If not from your shop, where would you recommend we purchase from? We like the look of wet pressure treated wood and would like a natural looking stain on the brown tone side of things.
Thanks for your help.

|
| The easiest way to remove a finish is with a stripping agent. We carry a bio degradeable produt called stripex, Apply and power wash off. |
