[AT] OT Barn floor question

[charlie hill]

Larry,  I was looking at some of that stuff yesterday.  It was used for 
parking pads at some beach cottages where there are restrictions on how much 
ground can be covered by concrete or asphalt.  The decking has been there 
for a few years and it doesn't seem to be weathering any better than salt 
treated wood.   Some of the boards are starting to warp and twist a bit. 
Also, a friend of mine used the stuff extensively for decks and benches off 
the rear of his new house.  (now about 5 years old)  I was over there last 
year and noticed that I could drag my finger nails over the decking lightly 
and scrape the surface off.  It appears that UV has begun to attack the 
surface.

I'd think you would be better off with cedar or juniper for your windmill.

Charlie
