Question from Kim
Hi Debra,
We love your site; thank you for this wonderful reference.
Our family needs to make a decision on a new dock. I prefer cedar for many reasons but worry about health and environmental issues with what to treat/weather proof it with AND if we can get wood that is not chemically treated in the first place.
Does anyone out there know of any green marine suppliers?
Thank you!!
Debra’s Answer
There are some water-based DECK finishes that I gave in Q&A: Water-based Deck Finish, but I don’t know if these would stand up to the constant water exposure of a dock. You might contact these manufacturers and see what they suggest.
Readers, does anyone have any experience with this?
