Hi everyone
I have a barn constructed of cedar. I recently finished power washing the inside and it came out great. But my problen is with the outside. The barn was built in the mid-80s and the outside wood has turned black and a rust brown. The other issue I have is the board-and-batten siding look. I want to keep the board but I want to remove the battened part which sticks out and put a layer of tongue-groove 8 inch or 10 inch board over the current cedar board after removing the 1 inch battened board. Then paint or stain barn red the new board
Should I put a covering over the cedar layer before putting the new siding on? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Should I put the new cedar tongue and groove siding over cedar or would you use pine instead? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
The board is verticle
Thanks in advance
