I'm planning to build an arched garden gate/trellis with a hinged T&G panel door. The material will either be Cypress or Western Red Cedar and it will be painted with a quality exterior paint.
The joinery will likely be dominoes for the door frame and arch splices (24" radius with a heavy timber; it will need at least 1 splice in the middle.) I may use mortise and tenon for the rails and styles of the door frame, but not sure.
I'm not familiar enough with epoxy to know right off the top what my best options are. Am I correct in assuming that epoxy is a much more durable choice for this exterior application than something like Titebond III?
Any advice or recommendations for this application?
Thanks!
