How to Build a Simple Deck

What happens here

To finalize the aesthetic of the cedar shiplap post wraps, a coat of boiled linseed oil is applied. This oil treatment enhances the natural amber color of the cedar, making it 'pop,' and provides an extra layer of protection against weathering. This step contributes significantly to the overall curb appeal of the new deck.

Goal: Boiled linseed oil is applied to the cedar shiplap post wraps to enhance their natural color and protect them from the elements, completing the aesthetic transformation.

Tools and materials

  • Brush or Cloth
