@Airhead or anyone else with external timber finishing tekkers - would I be crazy to use this pine skirting profile as external cladding - if I used a proper external finishing system ( osmo or zinsser ) ? It’s only an external porch fascia I’m doing

Might want to treat it before painting with something like SikaGard Wood Preserve. I think you’d be fine. Most summer houses and the like softwood but you’d usually treat them with a preservative of sorts to help reduce rot.

**Disclaimer, I know nothing about wood

Yep - osmo preserver treatment followed by white stain followed by uv topcoat has worked lovely on some external oak I’ve done. B and Q pine is the concern !
