I am curious, how good is this stuff and is it really worth the extra cost?
I was watching a This Old House episode and they were using it on all of the trim. I went to H.D. to get a new exterior door jamb as the one currently on my house is rotting out. They had a Vinyl PVC jamb, so I bought that. It was a bit more expensive, but thought it was probably worth it for the cost...
The real question is, I have to trim out the bottom edges of my detached garage as the wood clapboard siding is starting to rot out. It hasn't hurt the framework yet, 1915 Bungalow, but I obviously need to put something down there to prevent future damage. Should I use treated, cedar, or a vinyl PVC or something else? This is for a horizontal trim board at the base of the garage wall. I will also say, I don't have but maybe 1" +/- between the bottom of the wall and the ground and at this point, I am not planning on jacking up the garage!!
