Ladies, when I have finished I will sit down with a large glass of Merlot and ponder on what I
we have done today!. Also, if I lived closer to you both I would gladly come round and help,
if you have a bottle of red available that is!.. )w(

What preservative do you use SB?

I've got decking at my other house and just jet wash it every year, it always comes up like new, it's about 8 years old now.

Hi Steve, I use "Sovereign" clear wood preservative, I prefer this to decking oil, as it
is spirit based and penetrates the wood better than oil, it dries real quick too! )t' ..

oohhh Beerless has been playing with his big man toy washy thing today as well, oops I stand corrected )de: apparently he was not playing he was pressure washing the decking.

We are restaining with W!lko own brand decking stain but the bannisters have been painted in the same colour as the fence panels, one of the pretty colours.
