Fasteners
All nails, fasteners and hardware must
be stainless steel, aluminum or top-quality,
hot-dipped galvanized (electroplated
galvanizing is not acceptable). Poor
quality fasteners will react with redwood’s
natural, decay-resisting extractives
causing unsightly stains.
A staggered nailing pattern helps to avoid
splitting of redwood garden grade lumber
by allowing slight movement during the
wood’s natural seasoning process.
Storage
Redwood lumber should be stacked flat,
supported 6 inches off the ground and
protected with a waterproof cover that
permits air circulation. If stored more than
a month, unseasoned lumber should be
stored with stickers between boards to
permit excess moisture to evaporate.
