I've got a project coming up with a lot of exterior framing - covered porches and screen porches. The rest of the house will be douglas fir, but I'm concerned about the weather resistance of the fir for the porch posts. I'm thinking of using red cedar for those posts instead, and leaving the rafters and girts as fir, as they should stay dry. Location is in Minnesota. Experiences/Suggestions/Opinions?
