It seems to go against conventional wisdom to suggest that covering wood with roofing felt could cause it to rot faster. On our garden trains we puncture the felt to attach the track. Moisture gets in.
Happens with metal too. Remember the thick rubber underseal they used to put on cars. Once the water got in behind it your car would rust away before you could say Liz Truss🤣
I do remember underseal. Once there was the slightest hole it cut the water for in. I used waxoil a few times. That seemed to heal itself and soak into the rust.
I do remember underseal! I did use waxoil a few times but that seemed to be able to seep into the rust. Thanks for the memory!
Your right John as long as wood is allowed to breath it can last a long time.
