How should I treat my new redwood deck?
I have built a large redwood deck in the southwest (New Mexico). I understand that redwood resists decay and insects very well, but I want to try to keep if from drying, splitting and cracking. Extremely hot and dry weather here is the real culprit. I wish to start with a semi transparent stain, then I have been told that a mix of linseed oil with a little thinner will do the trick, any other suggestions?
