I've had good results with cypress, spanish cedar, mahogany decking

I'm certainly no expert, but would gladly argue this point. Are you
saying wood turning "grey" is solely a UV issue?

In CA, redwood is almost universally used fer decks and fences. Using
it fer fences is a hoot, as the same ppl that can afford redwood fencing
are also usually the same ppl that have automatic lawn sprinklers.

Wanna see grey? Everywhere water hits a redwood fence, it turns
grey. It's a given! Water hits fence, fence is grey. You can take
it to the bank.
