On my list for spring projects is a repair job on our porch railing. Our home is 5 yrs old and I have already repainted the railing once. I am convinced that the wood was not properly primed/painted by the contractor as it is literally rotting away.
I really like the look and feel of a wooden railing on the porch, but I also like the idea of putting up a vinyl rail and being done with maintenance once and for all. So my question is, what would you do and why? If you choose wood, what would you do to ensure that it is properly protected for the outdoors?
TIA,
Dave
