I do my mixing in the wheelbarrow. Don't recall seeing the dry mix

This isn't 'treated wood', it's cedar. Dampness won't hurt it.

Over time it will. Ever seen an old cedar fence?


Cedar is good for fences and stuff that does not touch the ground. You
want waterproof wood, cypress from Florida will suffice.

We don't have any Florida trips planned, darnit!
