Hello All,
I need a new front door as the old one is rotting away. I favour wood for the appearance and for reasonable security.
As the door will have to be painted or varnished, what wood will take the paint best in regard to integrity and longevity of finish? Hardwood or softwood? What about protecting the wood from rot first? I suppose I should now wait until Spring to do the job?
Any help here would be appreciated.
