tatom Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I have teak trees and would like to use them as support posts for a roof over my patio. They are free and would look better than steel or concrete. I dont really know much about teak. They will sit on the conctete slab and be bolted to the steel beams. They will get some rain blown in on them and Id like to know if they should be treated with anything. Im assuming they will last quite a while?

loong Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 When I've seen locals use teak for roof joists, they've put the logs in the lake to soak for a month. This makes the teak harder and more resistant. Be warned though, teak doesn't float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
