Cedar Shake Gazeebo

[seymore]

Here is a cedar shake gazeebo I worked on last week and have been maintaining if for almost 5 yrs.I just stained the roof 6 gallons Super Cedar and haven't had to stain the underside since day 1

Nice Shane,

From a distance, that cedar shake roof almost looks like those tile roofs down in Florida.

Amazing how stain holds up when not exposed to UV and moisture. The underside looks like it was done yesterday.

I had a little more wasted overspray and i also put it heavy on the deck as it just soaked it up being so frigging HOT!

Rick here is the gazeebo when i was just finished with the 2 coats and also a pic with not as much exposed sun.

P.S like how i had to tie my ladder off working alone?

Shane,

Man, that gazebo, rocks, foliage, and pool almost look like Tahiti or friggin' Fantasy Island!

Nice tie off but take care with extension ladders. Hate those things!

Shane, You get much slippery overspray on yer ladder? You had mentioned recently you took a spill off ladder if I recall correctly..
Ladder gets slippery and plastic tarps get slippery for me. I like the painters tarps and would go with them soley if they made sense during the pressure washing portion of a job....
Also, do you ever make small scaffold with dual ladders for this type job? (don't see that idea workin on this type job but for the one side though)

Well the ladder can get slippery if i'm spraying overhead or when i have stain on my shoes. Yep i did take a spill off a ladder a few yrs ago it didn't feel too good!

I never really made a scaffold yet out of 2 ladders i usually spray off of the extension ladder or try to reach what i'm spraying with the extension wands,

How did you get any work done in that setting? Weren't you tempted to float in the pool all day sipping drinks? Beautiful, but in a way, distracting. Hope you hung out for a little while at the end and basked in the beauty of it.

It was a tough job but somebody had to do it If i weren't rushing to get finished and start another job i would have set up shop in the double chase lounger!
