can I use this tool to install 2x6 redwood planks?

Yes, you can do so, and others have supplied special instructions. I would add that you may want to look at the grain of the wood, and make sure the convex side up and concave side down. Although some cupping is inevitable, the fasteners will probably be more effective if they are not trying hold down the plank and fighting against cupping.

Kreg Tools website and Amazon specifically say: "Please note: It works exclusively with 4/4 to 5/4 (3/4-inch to 1-1/8-inch) stock and is not designed for use with 2x material including 2x4s, 2x6s, 2x8s, etc."

Yes ! The Kreg deck jig can be used with 2X (1 1/2") decking. You must use the longer "2x kreg deck screws". They are 2 5/8 inches long. They can be harder to find at retailers. But you can get them from amazon.com and the Kreg websites (kregtool.com & factoryauthorizedoutlet.com)

I don't think so since the jig and the angle of the drilling and screw installation guides is designed for 5/4 or 1 1/8" standard deck boards, plus I don't think Kreg makes the special screws required in a longer length that would be required for a 1 1/2" thick 2x6 board. You might try contacting Kreg Tool on their web site.

I did but laid down plywood on top. HD or Lowe's will cut it down to size for you for free if you buy 2 pieces.

Yes you can. Also, you can use 2 2X8s, or 2 2X6s and 1 2X4. You may have to adjust the uprights so there is not too much overhang or causes pinching on your buttinsky. Just pre measure the widths of your boards and experiment from there. You may have to drill some extra holes for greater stability.

I don't know that it would be worth it. It has two bars that run back to the far side. The attachments are kind of like c-clamps with bolts/butterfly knobs to hold them in place, designed to go around metal spring bases, so you'd have to do some serious bending and stretching to get it to fit on wood planks. If your base is solid wood with no gaps, then definitely no dice.

Have not done it, but don't see how it would be a problem. We use containers. You would have to avoid interfering with the slide mechanism when adding the fasteners for the wood.

If everything is square, there should not be a problem. I occasionally use paste wax on top and slides. Everything works smoother, plus lumber slides on saw easier.

They say you can use any 2" x 2" wood but we used redwood and I'd recommend it. We even added reinforced braces in various places along the roof and in the corners (made it much more sturdy). Any covering goes over it quite easily (obviously the thicker the less likely to tear). Best way to put covering on is to use a large roll and roll from the ground over the top (on the sides). We used Solex. Love it! Its tough and easy to install. We have an amazing greenhouse for much cheaper than buying one of this quality outright.

You will need to purchase 21 pieces of 2X2X8' (actual dimensions are slightly smaller) lumber in either pine or redwood to complete your structure

probably not. i built a 4x4 with one and had lots of screw left over but probably not for 2 builds

I don't see why not, so long as you cut all your boards to the same scale. I did something similar with another shed I built.

I've been able to cut through a 2x3 on it's side, and all 2x4 and 2x6 cedar/fir. Just feel the resistance of the wood and take er slow!

The 2x4 category should not be considered light framing. I would not even use this tool for 2x2. This is a trim installation tool, where 1/2" should be considered the max. I found the 16 gauge nails to be more akin to wire than a hardened nail, and tend to follow the easiest path. Best for nailing trim into a stud, which tend to be softer than joists.

I would not recommend trying that. Definitely not the ideal tool for that job, as these are really made with wood in mind.

If you mean, 6-inch x 1/4-inch plate, yes. If you mean 6-inch x 1/4-inch wall square box, no. Edit: Hmm. Were you to index the 6 x 6 box four times, it'd probably work. I use a 14-inch abrasive Milwaukee fitted with a wood cutting blade to cut 6x6-PT, and that requires indexing twice ... along with some decidedly "off-label" deck/vise machinations; YMMV.

Yes install arbor that fits you caliber an insert into open end be sure the arbor is snug you can adjust it by the screw

Nope. But I have worked with wood. Everything depends on what wood, what thickness, and what length. You could test it by perching your proposed length of wood onto two cinder blocks and then standing in the middle. If you feel flexing, don't do it for real. You could reinforce by placing 2x4 boards on first and then putting a length of board on top of that. Here's a calculator page, too: https://courses.cit.cornell.edu/arch264/calculators/example8.1/

Never tried it - but you might have to drill acouple extra holes in the frame - as it's designed for fewer, wider planks.
