SuperDeck-Natural Our Log Gazebo buyers highly recommend SuperDeck - with a natural finish. The natural finish color actually has a small amount of tint, which allows a bit of blending between the lodge pole pine logs we use in our gazebo, and the cedar componets used in the floor & ceiling. We are now using SUPERDECK LOG HOME OIL FINISH that highlight the wood grain pattern and texture, giving a translucent and lustrous sheen. The finish contains linseed and Tung oils that offer superior durability that enhances the natural beauty of real wood, while protecting against harsh elements that can fade and damage exposed wood. 800-825-5382 is a great automated help line which can also be reached after hours and on weekends. They also host a nice collection of Wood Care Articles. You can find dealer locations thru their website or call their hotline. SuperDeck products can also be applied to outdoor furniture. We recommend this product for our

log gazebos. A great product for our cedar gazebos too.
