How do you care for this siding?

There is a recommended maintenance schedule for wood siding like this. There are some important steps to take before applying the siding to the substrate. One of these steps is choosing a high quality wood/timber stain. Once the cedar is on the wall, re-coatings and cleanings are done when needed, in some cases years after the original installation.

The wood species is coastal grown Western Red Cedar tongue and groove with a square shoulder.
