Four years ago I replaced the rotten threshold of my back door. I took
a plank from a pallet, sawed and planed it to fit, caulked, applied two
coats of Thompson's sealer, and painted.

Before long, the wood was getting wet. It soon rotted.

What's a better way to make a threshold?


Use an "outdoor" wood and protect it with a polyurethane.


I replaced a rotted oak threshold with some solid vinyl trim, still looks
new three years later. It may not wear as well but its never gonna rot.
