I am in the process of tearing out a redwood deck that is less than 15 years
old due to dryrot. Unfortunately the support girders and posts were not
pressure treated wood and have extensive damage. I also had a lot of damage
to the redwood deck boards where they rested on the girders. Is there a good
product to coat the underside of the new deck boards with, where they rest
on the support beams, to prevent this from happing in the future? Also,
where there is minor dryrot damage to some of the redwood, is it possible to
cut out the damaged area and use some kind of wood filler in order to
salvage some of the boards? Thanks for your input.
