Post Your Answer To The Question Above:
| Answer: Hi! If you are happy with the way cedar looks as it ages, I would definitely recommend that you forget about sealing it. Sealing it will keep it the same color it was when it was installed, but the alternative as it ages, a nice silvery color, is great, too. Cedar is naturally resistant to weather and insects, so sealing is not going to offer you a considerably longer lifespan on the fence. The main reason to seal it would be for cosmetic reasons. If you do decide to seal it, make sure that it is bone dry when you apply the sealant. |
| Answer: Our new cedar fencing looks wonderful and we love the color of the wood, so we will stain to keep it that color as long as we can. Thanks, Annie! |
