Entrance way Arch
My wife wants an arched entrance to the front of the house -- and of course
I just say OK. The arch will cover a span of about 72" and will be about 18" in height. Okay no problem. My question is -- Since this is an outside project and subjectto heart and humidity extremes I am wondering about material to use. I thought about glueing up cedar but that doesn't hold well -- at least from my experience. Then thought maybe some glued up white oak might do the trick but I would need to go find some -- the guy I normallly buy from is about 400miles from here so not close enough for a weekend project. Any thoughts about using exterior grade ply? I always dread using ply where it is exposed to the weather. If I cover the ply with a urethane will this help prevent decay? Any ideas. Dummy simply says ok and now I need to figure it out. duh. Thanks. Thom |
