I built some exterior steps into my new shop. I used pressure treated pine for the framing, sapele for the risers and qs white oak from Scott for the treads. My building inspector was over today doing an insulation inspection and on his way out commented on my treads may not be up to code as they are not weather resistant. He said redwood, cedar or juniper would be ok but he felt white oak was not. I think I am right that WO is as weather resistant as cedar or juniper, now I just have to prove it.
Can anybody out there send my in the right direction?
