MattD1 Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Afternoon all. My parents have a summer house and the bottom of the doors is starting to rot . Could anyone tell me what this timber is please so I can order some lengths of it to re-do the whole doors. Thanks very much 👍

Thanks very much 👍 Its probably fast grown Spruce so whitewood rather than joinery grade redwood. It will be kiln dried and treated but they still rot fast in exposed locations, particularly at the bottom rail where water gets trapped behind the glazing bead or if the threshold is tight. Locally available and slight upgrade swap will be Scandinavian redwood. 1
