Can you stain concrete with wood stain?

Yes you can use wood stain on concrete but it will not penetrate the concrete, it does look nice and you can use different shades together. To keep the stain on it use a concrete sealer in a couple coats, it will give it a shiny wet look. I have tried it with fake wood only because where I live I can't get concrete stain. And it looks great.


Does painted wood rot in the rain?

Yes, you can finish the wood with a shellac varnish or any other substitute. Or if you want to paint an opaque color over it (instead of something that will just stain the wood) oil based paints made for the home exteriors will preserve your wood much longer.


How do you paint a wooden fence?

Depends on how wet is was when installed. But on average we recommend staining after about 2 seasons of exposure.Pressure treated wood may be painted. First, you need to figure out if your wood is ready to paint. Do this by putting a couple of drops of water on the spot to be covered, the wood is too wet to coat if it beads up, give it some time to dry. If the water is readily absorbed, you may begin to paint. You should use an oil-based primer and a high quality acrylic (latex) paint. If you prefer to stain it, purchase a high quality oil-based stain.


What type of timber used for ceiling frame?

The choice of timber 'species' (fir, pine, hemlock, cedar, oak, etc.) for a ceiling frame depends on many factors: The first would the structure. Some woods are stronger than others. It the ceiling is covering a large space, a strong wood that comes in long lenghts, like Douglas Fir, would be a good choice. If the Spans are short, a weaker wood, like pine would be good. The second is aesthetic. Douglas Fir is a good stable wood with a pretty grain, but it is slightly red in color. Some people love it, some people prefer a wood that is more blond, like Pine or Hemlock. Oak can have a golden or reddish color, but a a hardwood, it often twists and checks. The checking (splitting partially through a timber) makes the frame look rustic. A third factor is exposure to the weather. Pine will rot over time if it gets wet. Hemlock, cedar, fir and oak are rot resistant. Pine has a nice pretty grain though, it takes stain well, and it is light and easy to work with.
