I have a redwood fence that has quite a bit of green moss growing on
it in quite a few places. (From watering the flowers I suspect). My
wife wants me to power wash the moss off the fence, but I have some
concerns about how good this is for the redwood. The fence was built
in 1961, so the wood is getting quite old. The boards on the fence
are 1 X 8. Does anybody have an opinion on this?



Use Jomax (a detergent) to clean your fence. Power wash can damage
wood.


Correction: power washing *will* damage something as soft as redwood.
