• When 'painting' sheds and fences, avoid anything called paint! Paint is a surface treatment that tends to flake off at the least provocation, decking paint being the worst culprit, it tends to wear off from high traffic areas in nanoseconds.

    Instead, use any of the preparations that soak into the timber (Cuprinol tends to be good). Pressure treated timber is fine for these finishes as the treatment will have dried out within weeks of leaving the pressure vats. I always use a sprayer, but beware, you MUST clean it thoroughly after use or it becomes a single use item!

  • or it becomes a single use item!

    I diligently cleaned mine after decking oiling the kids Wendy House. Went to use it a year later and nothing. Hence my Screwfix reco. Put the credit towards an SDS so happy days.
