Hi. Can anyone advise on a suitable protection for a pressure treated 10x8 summerhouse.. it's been installed since September and would like to get it done before it's to hot and before next winter. Keeping a natural look if possible. Not sure if to use paint or stain. Or even if it needs doing...

Thank you. I did take your advise and contacted them , they said to use the 420 or the polyx 3044. We have a local supplier so I went there today. I was worried about it being solvent based and if the smell would linger for a long time. He couldnt offer any advise other than maybe use sadolin...

Hi Tom. Thanks for reply. Ideally I'd just like to protect the inside timber from being damaged , and keep it looking nice. We'd like to keep the natural colour of the wood and be able to clean any mess up easily. Also if it does get a bit damp for any reason a mould protection. We've not had a...

No , sorry you misunderstood. I definitely will wait till the wood is dry before applying any finish. And I'll do the exterior in the summer. I'm just looking for advise on what would be best to use inside when it's dried to protect the timber , and also make it easier to clean, spills, muddy...

Im a bit stuck at the moment as there is no Lecky in there. It's being hooked up after Xmas. I was going to run my dehumidifier but I'd have to have the door or window open to run an extension. I also have a heater. But that's the same. Not much point with the door open. But a fan I can do. I'll...

Thank you. I've not seen this product before but I will definitely look into it. 👍

Hi, thanks for the reply. The timber seems solid and good quality. Hopefully anyway. It was made to order by a local company rather than buying off the shelf. So we paid a premium 😕. It is pressure treated which they did say would take a few month to dry out, it was also a very wet day when it...

So that drew a blank 😕.. has no one any ideas on what's best to use to clean that off and what would be the best product for a natural finish on the interior walls an floor. I've read that because it's pressure treated I have to be careful with what I use. Thanks.

Hi. In after some advise please. We recently had a summerhouse installed, just in time for winter 😕.. it was installed on a wet September afternoon, the inside was very damp to the touch, it's finally drying out except the ceiling which is still getting condensation on it. We're airing it out as...

Ok. So I had a go this morning, I should point out that Im not a pro and have limited tools. As in saw, hammer , orbital sander . I was hoping just chipping away at the bark would knock it off in nice chunks, then half hour later I'd be sipping hot coffee looking at a pile or bark. That didn't...

Will you leave the bark on yours when you make the table. I'm torn between it looking better with it on and weather it will cause more hassle in the future and to just take it off now. How do you plan on finishing yours. Oil, wax

No. That's the last piece. It all got taken pretty quickly for people's log burners. I just kept that piece. Thanks for reply. 👍

No idea. They cleared a load of trees from outside work maybe 2 years ago and sliced a few up. I've had this in the store room since then.

Hi. 1st post and need a bit of advise please, I've got a nice log slice that's been drying out at work for the last year or so. I'm going to give it a sand and fit some legs and make a little table for my summerhouse. I'm wondering if I should remove the bark. It's quite crumbly and don't want...
