Yeti2300 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Only wood to use is Western Red Cedar. I used this wood extensively for beams on my wooden cats and it was always the lightest and strongest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschellens Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Thankyou for your reply, I will see if I can get some western red cedar. What should I use to treat the beams with? will any varnish do? Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti2300 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Any reasonable MARINE varnish will do. No eed to go to the two pack stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
