[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2321664, member: 711"] When you remove it, be sure to protect it if you stack it with spacers. Also, it is important that you number the boards so they can be reunited when they are put to whatever new purpose they will serve. Be careful to make as few as possible pry marks on it too. A flat pry bar applied from the inside with a block for leverage is a pretty good way to leave the outside unmarked. Take your time. If you can find a good market, the buyer may want to do the removal which would save you some work and possibly increase the value of the wood. Whoever said "deck material," it would make lousy decking if it is typical barn siding. The stuff is decorative, but not usually very strong. Patience in finding a buyer will pay off. <edit> Didn't realize this was such an old theread. Any update? [/QUOTE]
