Hello to all!
My dad would like me to help him to refinish his automatic pool cover case made of red wood. After planning and sanding what would you use as a finish? We live in the San Fernando Valley with mild winters and very hot summers. The unit will be in direct sun light all day long with no shade.
What is the best finish I can get at Home Depot, Lowes, or OSH?
Your continue support and input is soooo very appreciated!
Tom

You'll probably have a tough time finding something that will stand up for long to the summer sun down there, so plan on having to spend time maintaining whatever you do.
I'm in San Jose and when I built our new deck five years ago, SWMBO wanted me to use a sealer because the redwood was "so pretty". At that time, we had been married for 30 years so I knew how to play THAT game. I told her that I would be glad to put on the first coat of sealer if she would handle the annual maintenance. She quickly lost interest and our deck has now weathered to a beautiful grey - like redwood is supposed to look!! - lol
