Cedar shingles

[Big Beech]

Need to tart up some cedar shingles for a client on there summer out house dining area. Currently just looking tired with a little lichen growing on them but unsure if need treating with anything? They look fine to me, but I know they will want them doing I also have some seating to run down and re oil. Suggestions please:001_smile:

OK guys need some input here!!

Have painted / treated the summer house wood work and now boss is unhappy that the shingles are looking tired ! What can I treat them with? They are over a inner ply board roof structure. They are not leaking just grey, weatherd and too me look great! But boss says otherwise!!!

Jet wash?

Think he is wanting bit more!! Ideally wanting to know what kind of treatment to apply mick.

If he aint careful he might just get some cuprinol fence spray in green on there!!

so far as i know cedar shingles are not to be treated nor can you treat them with anything to do what your boss wants.

 

they are a natural product untreated as they are perfectly weatherproof on their own.

 

if he wants them to look like new then he is to get new ones or sand or scrape the ones in place.

 

they are supposed to age naturally and grey up to that fantastic silver colour like you get on your garden furniture.
