Taking Care Of Redwood ?
Once you have reviewed the proper redwood deck plans, building can begin. Unlike traditional wood, redwood can withstand almost any weather condition that is thrown at it. However, once the deck is finished, you will want to keep it looking new. To keep redwood fresh, consider adding a stain. Let the redwood sit for at least one month before applying any stain. Once the stain has been applied, use a garden hose to rinse of any grim that may form.
What factors do I have to consider when using redwood for my deck?
There are various redwood decking that yield different outcomes so you have to familiarize yourself first. Second, think about your purpose. Will it be a garden, a playground, or a barbecue area? Redwood is fire resistant but you still have to place your grill far from the deck itself. Then, sketch a bird's eye view of how you want your deck to look like. It should go well with your existing landscape. Decide if you wish to include built-in seats or a fence for some privacy especially if the deck will be used for a bath tub. I'd recommend using metal sleeves for the fence posts and support columns for added durability. Finally, explore the different colors that will look best for your redwood deck.

You first have to sand your your current deck until it has reached a smooth and even surface. The stain is then poured into a painting pan and applied with a paint roller, let each coat dry FULLY and reapply coats of the stain until your desired color is reached. Good luck on your at home project!
Keep the Luster on Redwood Patio Furniture?
Redwood patio furniture is a unique choice for an outdoor living space. While many people think it is too expensive, it is very cost effective because of its durability. Redwood furniture will last indefinitely in the outdoors as it is resistant to swelling, warping, and cracking like many other woods used for deck furniture. However, over time redwood will lose its natural luster due to the elements. Sealing it annually with a pigmented redwood sealer will keep the deep red appearance of the furniture from fading.
