When fixing, use appropriate structural screws or nails for the section size, and pre-drill near ends to avoid splitting the grain. For an exposed face finish, plane or sand with the grain and apply a suitable primer or sealer promptly to protect against moisture ingress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does unsorted grade mean for redwood timber?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnsorted is the highest commercial joinery grade of Scandinavian redwood.
