Howdy all! I haven't posted for a looong time, for reasons that I won't go into in this ask. But I am still making sawdust and pulling out the occasional splinter, so all is good.
I'm just starting a garden project for my daughter and son-in-law--creating a 600 sq ft space with 5 raised beds and a simple fence created with a 2"x3" wire mesh over a 2x4 panel structure (see the image below). My question pertains to the assembly of the pergola and main gate, which will be built with western cedar and joined using the trusty ol' M&T.
Given that both Polyurethane (Gorilla) and Epoxy would be water resistant if not outright water proof (which is a near-necessity in the PNW), which of the two would give me the best results where A) working time and B) durability are concerned?
