Preparing Eastern Red Cedar for Deck Project - Grey Mountain - 05-22-2024
A neighbor has asked about preparing eastern red cedar for use in a deck project.
Not a lot of experience; however, my suggestion would be to strip the park since that's what attracts the bugs. What else should she do?

Is she going to use ERC for the decking or rails, balustrades, etc?
ERC is really soft. I wouldn’t use it for the decking itself.
