I've decided to go with cedar decking on my deck project. I've located a local small lumber yard that focuses on deck and outdoor wood projects; I looked at their stock today and ordered 5/4x6 western red cedar, sanded 4 sides.
They recommend staining/finishing the decking on all 6 sides before laying it down: 1 coat on the bottom, 3 coats on the top/sides/ends.
I have two questions for this group (your responses in the past have been excellent and are much apprecoated):
1. Is staining/finishing all 6 sides recommended by this group?
2. What brands of stain/finisher do you recommend?
Thanks in advance..
