Now heading into the run up to summer we have had a big influx of customers asking for our advice on treating outside timber Buildings / Summerhouses Sheds /Gates /Fences and more .
Now whilst all our outside timber products are all built using “Pressure Treated “ timber which helps protect it from insect attack and rot long term it doesn’t necessary make it waterproof .
With a dry warm building inside and wet skin outside the damp and water can still be drawn through the timber and any nail head holes causing leaks and damp patches .
The solution is a good coat of treatment to provide a waterproof skin that the rain just runs off and preferably a shade of colour to also help against the grey bleaching effects of the sun on the timber each year .
The answer in our opinion is definitely an oil based treatment to extend its life and help against water related problems .
At our workshop we stock a great branded treatment in 5Ltr tins from Clear to Green and various shades of Brown .
We also offer a local treating service for customers that struggle to apply it …..
