So I went to the farm...

Posted by Brown Water Jerry (Rice) on October 30, 2014 at 10:11am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

I was behind my sons barn when I spyed a beat up piece of barn siding and a piece of sheet metal roofing.  

Is there something I should do to the wood to prevent splinters ect.?

Will roofing work for a top?

Any suggestions would be apreaceated .

    Most barn siding up here is hemlock and it can be splintery - I just put on a couple of coats of matte finish varathane. I would have preferred not to but... the weathered oak was fine unfinished.

      If I use barn wood for the back will the roofing work for the top kinda like a license plate?

        No reason it wouldn't work - may involve a bit more fiddling around to accommodate the ribs, etc. - I think it would look pretty cool.
        Post a pic or two.
