Life span for cedar is about 15 years vs hardwood 25 years .
With minimum maintenance (every 3 years) cedar will last about 20 years, hardwood about 30-35.
Because the hardwood is a more dense wood, the mildew and algaes can not inhibit to decay the wood, so it
will require less maintenance.
Maintenance requirement for hardwood is to clean it (pressure washing ) and apply two (2) coats of oil base stain (Messmer).
The price is a bit more for the hardwood but I thing it’s worth it.
One more thing; the hardwood is not so expensive anymore and for a big project like a deck it is better to invest a little bit more and you get a great looking deck that will last a long time.

Hi,
You know what, I have been searching for some more information on this topic, and wonder if anyone can help me out? I found this website on MSN and would appreciate it if someone sends me some more links on this topic by email.
Thanks much in advance.
Yeah I understand just what your talking about, life in this day and age is all together then it was when I was younger. I suppose our grand parents never really thought about this , technology as we know it from many angles makes a lot of things possible . Reckon I am just old fashioned , however I remember back when times were different . A hand shake would get you a loan, you could let your kids just go outside and play , and goods just weren’t as expensive either . I recon prices are always going to go up , however I don’t understand why we can’t go back to the days when neighbors really cared about each other and actually knew each others names. I suppose that is history, but hey, its a great day to be alive , I reckon we ott to just keep on keeping on.
Thanks for the tip!
