The old shed I built out of scrap lumber and rails about 20 years ago - the plywood roof is rotten and gone; the dressed lumber is half gone some is still okay. But the spruce rails.. they look good for another 20 years. Var (fir) is a different story. Gone in no time. The spruce is dense and the resins preserve it.

Still I doubt I could clean up rails good enough to not destroy greenhouse pastic - or row cover, for that matter. Too bad!
