My fiance and I are building a house and we are planning on using T & G log siding… What is the proper way to stain brand new siding before installing? Do we need to stain the back side of it as well before applying it? What is the best stain to use and do we need to polyurethane it after staining it… what is the best way to prevent wood boars?

If you want to use an oil stain I would recommend Sikkens Log & Siding. If you want a latex product I recommend Life Line stain. Both require maintenance about every 3-4 years. As for doing the back, that is optional in my opinion. Call Dave at 800-564-2987 for more help and the materials that you will need.
