Building a cedar closet. do I use decking or other?
Jan 24, 2008 by Steeplechaser | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
do you line the walls with cedar decking, paneling, or some other type of cedar? is there a special type of cedar to use? Would a home-depot, lumber yard, or paneling store have these "Cedar Paneling"? I never heard of cedar paneling before. is it a thin luann/venere type of cedar or solid cedar.please help
they do sell aromatic cedar at homedept....its thinner (1/2in maybe ) and should come tounge and groove .....it sure will keep most the bugs out

Besides the tongue and groove, they make 4' x 8' sheets 1/2" thick. Call around. They are much faster than the t&g boards but don't look as nice.

HELP??? Looking for correct procedures and products to paint porch and seal cedar decking?
Jul 20, 2006 by justasskin | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
We pressure washed the entire porch last weekend to remove mildew from the white painted surface of the posts and railings and also to clean the sealed surface of the cedar porch floor.
During the pressure washing process, we removed a couple areas of the white paint and even a couple areas of wood. Before moisture gets into the wood, I'd like to repair the areas where we weren't so gentle with the pressure washer, repaint the posts and railings and seal the cedar floor of the porch. All of this, hopefully, without having to sand everything.
Should I use a wood putty or caulking to patch the holes on the railings? Product recommendations??
Should I use a specific kind of paint to make sure it adheres to the already painted surface as well as the repaired areas?
Easy product to use for sealing the cedar??
Best sequence of activities....patch, paint railings, seal floor?
I'm going for best quality... meaning.... I don't want to do this every year.
Thanks.
first you will have to allow the wood to dry.before painting you will have to lightly sand the previosly painted area to allow the new paint to adhere.repair/replace any areas needed.prep rails and posts for painting and lastly seal the decking.one of the best sealent out there is a product called cuponol.i have used it many times on a variety of material and have never been dissapointed.a product like thompsons water seal has to be applied yearly,so i would stay away from that.good luck

What does it cost per square foot to replace cedar decking?
Aug 27, 2007 by patty | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Lowes has 2x6x12' @ $27.37
So your price would depend on deck size and waste generated.
Homedepot will likely be competetive on price and either would be your best bet, but at that price you should look into composite decking made by Trex, which is sold at Lowes.
I built a deck for an eye surgeon, which was entirely decked with Trex 5/4x6 in the Brasilia smooth finish. His deck was 480 sq ft and we used $15000 in materials, but it was very, very intricate, having four levels and only 12" joist spacing, and the decking was screwed entirely from underneath, and one level was built along the contour of a red granite boulder. So it was not your normal deck and do not be scared by my price of materials!
Lifetime warranty, and looks great! Is also a pleasure to work with!

why am I having trouble finding cedar for decking in California?
Feb 20, 2008 by jim r | Posted in Garden & Landscape
Ive tried Lowes and Home Depot to no avail, I from Oregon and just moved to Calif and prefer Cedar over redwood because of strength when deck building and it seems Calif is a major no redwood place
Your best bet would be cypress, but cedar is very good. What we get in Georgia, by the way, is Western cedar, or western juniper. Lowes and HD will not have it, you have to find an independent supplier and regardless of what you get, it will all be expensive.

How do you get rid of mold on your cedar wood decking for ever.?
Apr 17, 2006 by radamson43 | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
this is a tougher question then what it appears. first you need to clean your cedar deck. I know that superdeck makes a great product.
after you get your deck looking the way you want it to look you should clean it twice a year unless it is in the shade. then i would do it three times. sorry to tell you that your deck is going to require more attention.

Decking apparatus for one-person straightening of deck boards
Product Description
A deceptively unaffected-looking tool, the BoWrench is a boon for both past master deck builders and do-it-yourselfers. The BoWench gives you a indecorously, one-person way to straighten decking boards. This is great, because decking significant--whether redwood, cedar, or another, more exotic rot-resistant wood--is often warped, exceptionally in 14- to 16-foot lengths. To drive the BoWrench, you simply fit the tool on a joist, wigwag the lever arm, and release. You can either push or pull boards into alignment, and when the finger is perpendicular, the tool locks in place, holding the meals securely and leaving you free to drive nails or screws. The BoWrench is sport than toe nailing. Burying nails in the sides of decking to concentrated gaps works, but it gives water more ways to begin the decking, which eventually leads to rot. With the BoWrench, you'll save in days of yore, create a longer-lasting surface, and increase material. Using the special cam attachment (sold independently), the BoWrench replaces the clumsy beater shut off as the best way to close gaps in tongue-and-furrow plywood and paneling.
