We are building a new cedar deck 10 x 12. The deck faces Mutiny Bay on Whidbey Island. The combination of weather, wind and heavy rain hit this west facing side of our home. We want to go forward with a stain or treatment which will help the wood do well in this condition. And yes, the view is worth it.
