Hi,
I'm looking at doing the gutterboards this autumn.
I've heard that cedar is a substantially rot resistant wood that may be a good choice. Though I'm not sure if that was red or white cedar.
Seems that red cedar is fairly available (certainly online) and I'd need lots of 1x6" PAR for my job (exact size isn't critical).
So - is red as rot-proof as I'm led to believe?
And is it necessary to coat it with anything before it goes up? (The face might get a coat of something for prettiness purposes before I refit the gutter).
The red is about the same price as wood-finish uPVC and I'd rather have wood as it lends itself to screwing things to!
The soffits are very well sheltered so they might get done in something cheaper.
Cheers
Tim
