Should I apply an exterior stain to protect my Star Cedar Shed product?
Star Cedar Shed products, if left unfinished will turn a silvery grey for a rustic, weathered look, which some people prefer. However, the use of a quality stain can enhance both its good looks and its natural durability. It responds beautifully to oil-based stains in your choice of tinted transparent finishes for a natural effect, or lightly pigmented semi-transparent finishes. Look for a coating that offers good mildewcide and ultraviolet shielding properties as well as additional preservatives to protect its youthful complexion. Varnishes and other film-forming coatings which can crack and peel and are not recommended for use on cedar. Please see additional information under 'Care & Maintenance'.
