Maintenance & Care

To keep your structure in the best shape possible it is important to know how to properly care for it. Luckily, the maintenance for these high-quality materials is simple and easy so you can spend less time on up-keep and more time enjoying the outdoors.

Red Cedar

Stain/Sealer:
To preserve the fresh, healthy appearance of our North American Western Red Cedar, and to further protect it from the elements, we recommend using a water-repellent sealer or stain. We offer various stain/sealer options which we will apply before shipping the structure. To maintain this enhanced appearance and protection, we recommend reapplication of stain/sealer once every 1-2 years for maximum effectiveness.

Unstained:
If you prefer a more rustic look for your structure, you can forego stain application and allow the wood to age naturally. The color of the lumber will naturally fade to a gray patina over time. This change does not effect the structural integrity of the lumber, but unstained wood can become more susceptible to moisture damage and pests as it ages.

Note: Natural checking in wood occurs over time and adds unique, rustic character and actually increases the strength of wooden structures and furniture.

Treated Pine

Stain / Sealer:
The best way to retain the youthful qualities of our Pressure-Treated Southern Yellow Pine is to apply a water-repellent sealer or stain. This treatment provides additional resistance from decay and insect damage over time. We offer a variety of stain options in various colors that we can apply before shipping. For continued protection and color-retention, we recommend reapplying stain/sealer every 1-2 years.

Unstained:
If you prefer a more rustic look for your structure, you can forego stain application and allow the wood to age naturally. The color of the lumber will fade to a gray patina over time. This change does not effect the structural integrity of the lumber, but unstained wood can become more susceptible to moisture damage and pests as it ages.

Note: Natural checking in wood occurs over time and adds unique, rustic character and actually increases the strength of wooden structures and furniture.

Vinyl

Low-Maintenance:
Our vinyl is practically maintenance-free. Simply wash the vinyl surfaces with soap and water or a mild cleanser. Washing once every 2-4 years is usually sufficient, depending on the conditions of your location. Rinse carefully with a garden hose as needed.

Although vinyl can also be cleaned with a pressure washer on low settings, this is not recommended because accidentally using high settings may warp the vinyl. Please exercise caution when cleaning vinyl with a pressure washer.

Do not clean vinyl with a power washer.

Rustic Red Cedar

Stain/Sealer:
Rustic Cedar is very similar to Red Cedar in terms of care. We recommend using a waterproof stain/sealer which offers additional protection from the elements and prolongs the fresh color of the lumber for many years and even decades. We offer several options that we can apply before shipping, and we suggest you reapply stain/sealer every 1-2 years for maximum benefit.

The rough surface of this material is not sanded smooth, so it can be a challenge to have solid stains cover every detail of the lumber. We suggest avoiding solid stains on this rustic material.

Unstained:
Like other woods, if Rough Cut Cedar is left unstained the natural color will fade over time to a gray patina. This aged look is favored by rustic styles and rough cut lumber is perfectly suited to embrace this aesthetic without losing structural integrity.

Note: Natural checking in wood occurs over time and adds unique, rustic character and actually increases the strength of wooden structures and furniture.
