  Hi; I accidentally pushed send before the question was finished:-). I meant - how do I keep outdoor cedar to retain the nice cedar color ; if you build a cedar fence or anything - it looks great at first - then turns dark and shabby looking :-)

Any home center or lumber yard can sell it to you.

  Thank you; My big fingers accidentally pushed send before I completed the question ; I meant, how do you keep cedar to maintain its nice cedar color. When you build a cedar fence or an arbor, it looks great at first.. then turns dark and doesn't look so great 😁
