Hi thank you for running this forum! I have a question about larch siding and I am hoping that you might help even though it is not a deck project. The larch is T&G planks that will be installed vertically on a 1800 sq ft house. We are hoping to stain the larch before install to tone down the bright yellow color, and also to help even out the weathering process, which I am told can be long and patchy-looking. We do not want to use a solid stain because we want to see the grain and features, just to help bring the brightness down to a grey-er look.
Here are my questions;
- Is it advisable to stain larch at all?
- If so, what is the best stain to use?
- Will the stain just slow the weathering process?
- How often will be need to reapply?
