RECOMMENDED FINISHES
This product is treated with oil-based semi-transparent brown wood
preservative. The color of the wood preservative is not permanent, will show
trace of green from Copper, and turn to light brown over time. The wood
preservative, Copper-Green BROWN is available at your local Home Depot for a
darker, rustic look. Finishing with a deck stain is highly recommended; it is
a matt finish but a first coat serves as a primer, and will look same for 5 to
10 years. Behr brand solid deck stain is available at Home Depot. Please
finish the bridge after assembly; the tongues and grooves of the floor boards
may not properly fit otherwise.
