Deodor cedar decking

[Ian Flatters]

Looks good Rob. Top job.

Seems like a long time ago that I put that decking down. An update to the job so you can see what it looks like now.

 

Very little movement at all and it's all stayed put.

[Rob D]

This time over and we've put in some steps down from the decking so it's quicker to get out and about.

 

All done with cedar and macra carpa.

 

Something very satisfying about building with timber you've milled yourself.

Great update Rob.

 

Looks grand

Beautiful decking, must smell amazing too. with regards to drying Cedar of Lebanon planks, can 1 1/2 inch planks which layed for about 3 years before milling be used for shelves without drying or will they split like other woods?

Indoors is much harsher on wood than outdoors. If that was stickered and stacked outside through the summer this would get a lot of water out of it. Then you'd also have a better idea which boards would be best to use.

 

Wood doesn't really dry in the round except after years and years (and then this can render it useless for milling due to the tensions and tears).
