[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by FJ and G Walt, I spoke to someone who used Trex and he said it expanded in warm weather and he had problems with it. I did find some cedar planks at Lowe's and using someone's advice here I purchased a large can of Thompson's waterseal. I got the longer lasting pigment kind that is a honey color. I did douse some ties in motor oil (new oil) and will wipe off excess oil and see how they work, but not using an extensive quantity. It's a wonder we didn't die as kids as they used to oil the dirt roads and use oil to kill ants. [/quote] I can't believe I didn't remember this sooner, use linseed oil, it will turn cedar almost black and protect it for years. Soak ties in a bucket of this instead of motor oil. It will take a good while to dry though.
