My lumberyard guy has some Tendura inventory he’s trying to move – this is the 3-1/4″ T&G.
He’s got 1086 linear feet, in 10,12 and 14′ lengths. New, still on pallet
Wants $1086.00 for all of it. Last time I bought that same thing, it was $2.86/ft.
Unfortunately, I don’t have anything on the horizon that would use it (little over 250 sq. ft.); don’t really want to sit on it.
Anyone near? Might be worth a drive to save a couple grand.

Had some problems with tendura, and I know they reformulated, so just be aware.

Tell me! My apps have been happy - so far . . .

Forrest, I had an installation that met the guidelines for ventilation, roof coverage, etc. The tendura edges curled severely. This was south facing so it did get sun.
Tendura rep came out and authorized replacement product to be sent. We installed probably 3 years ago now, hasn't recurred. But they wouldn't reimburse for removal, reinstallation, painting, or disposal.
I'm told they do have a new formulation, but I don't know if it's any better. Seems with every new product I try, I like the known limitations of wood better.

Thanks for the info. This stuff is still tagged, so I'll call Tendura before I buy it.
Forrest
Just so you know, I'm told of one other job locally that went bad, Tendura refused to supply new material because there was not enough ventilation below the porch.
Rich
I've had 2 bad experiences as well and will not use it again.

Would also like to know of any potential problems. Been considering this for our house.
