Thread: Ok fine, I shouldn't have used PINE.

After a long and fruitless search for suitable hardwood I gave in and made my barn doors out of regular untreated pine.

I guess I did it because I was sick of looking for better timber and keen to make use of a shed that was unusable without doors.
I used to make furniture so I do know better but what's done is done.
I'm not looking for a lecture how unprofessional, unsuitable, or ridiculous the use of pine is but hoping for some ideas to preserve them.
The upside it they look fantastic!

I've already stained them with WeatherGard external decking stain.
What else?
They won't see too much weather. When it rains they don't much rain on them at all because they're inset a few inches. They get a bit of sun. Eventually they'll both be fully undercover when I put pergolas over the entrances. But until then ...
