Hello everyone!! I've been MIA for a very long time here and on the NEW (to me) site!!! Long story short, i am working on a project for my side yard. My first project in CA!
I'm building a double door for the side entrance. It's built out of redwood. I would attach a picture, but I can't remember how, so maybe I will update this post in a couple of days once i figure out how to.
The next step is to apply a finish. I am looking for something that has a tint (color) in a semi-transparent finish so that the grain is visible. So i looked at what HD had, Behr. They say that it has 15yr warranty...I guess that speaks to the time or length of protection I can expect form that stain. I understand that the weather protection is a function of exposure, etc...none the less, they say it will last ideally 15yrs. Now another product that I saw at a local wood supplier is Cetol by Sikkens. Its a semi-transparent in "Redwood" color. Sikkens product does not show or have any warranty....so I have no idea of how long it may last. Sikkens cost 2x's what HD sells. The Sikkens product is 2 x's the cost of the Behr.
What are you thoughts? Why? Any other product I should consider... and Why? I have to apply the finish this weekend...want to finish the gate inside the garage before installing it this weekend.
Thank you for your help/suggestions/comments in advance!!
