Redwood Quality Redwood decks, fences and garden shelters are as dependable as they are beautiful. Redwood stays straight and flat, and it takes and holds finishes longer than other woods. Redwood heartwood is naturally resistant to insects and decay and has none of the toxic chemicals found in treated woods. Redwood decks look better, last longer and cost less than most people think. A Natural Product Redwood performs naturally and provides safe surfaces for sunbathing and picnics without the presence of toxic chemicals. Chemical treatment protects only the outer portion of the wood, while the decay resistance of redwood heartwood is present throughout, protecting sawn ends and nail holes. Value and Performance Redwood deck grades provide the best value and performance available. People are often surprised to learn just how affordable redwood quality is. Careful choices about knots, seasoning and grade go a long way toward reducing the cost of a deck. There's a grade for every project and every budget. Redwood Links Palco California Redwood Association Low Maintenance Redwood products weather beautifully. With proper installation, redwood decks, fences and benches will provide lasting enjoyment year after year. Fasteners Use stainless steel, aluminum or top quality, hot-dipped galvanized fasteners. Pre-drill nail holes at board ends to prevent splitting; drive nails at an angle for best holding. Use a nail as spacer between deck boards. Joints and large knots must fall on joists. Finishes For the best performance, all redwood garden projects should have a finish applied. Brush application is recommended. Left unfinished, redwood will gradually fade to a gray color.
