Did you seal or apply any type of finish to the redwood?

    Yes, however this project is 25 years ago and unfortunately that sealer is no longer available.

    Thanks for your response! Is there another sealer or oil you would recommend on redwood today? Would you ever leave redwood unfinished for a pergola/deck in socal?

    I would always recommend a sealer unless you are looking for a naturally patinaed surface that grays out over time.


    That being said, the difficulty with sealers is that over the years they build up, potentially becoming opaque, and will require sanding and starting over again.


    I would recommend reaching out to the local professionals for product recommendations for I am focused on design only these days, and not construction.

    ... best to you .
