protecting wood/plywood from elements
T1-11 siding is a plywood designed for exterior use (also kinda nice looking). Paint is designed to keep wood protected from the elements. My 30 year old house (up for sale!) and my 10 year old garden shed are still in perfect shape. Steve. "Ignoramus21494" wrote in message ... I am building a generator platform and enclosure. The platform is built from plywood, tires for cusioning and boards (I asked a few questions about it here and will post pictures soon). It will be, hopefully, inside the enclosure and protected from elements. Enclosure will be built from plywood and boards also. I want to protect it from elements. Would it be wise to use some oily substance like they use on decks (cedar deck treatment or some such". Thanks i |

I like a board that is similar - the outside rough sawed wood
is Coastal Redwood. Either sealed, stained or painted. My house in the Redwoods is also for sale. Martin SteveF wrote: T1-11 siding is a plywood designed for exterior use (also kinda nice looking).
