How much checking is normal in a cedar post?
15 years ago
I had a gazebo built last summer and several of the posts have checking in them. I know that checking is normal with cedar, but my checks seems to be unusually large and run almost the length of the columns. I've attached a pic. Any thoughts on this? Should I have the contractor come back and fix this?
