I am about to build an archway for the garden and was wondering if anyone could advise which would be better - tanalised or untreated timber followed by suitable treatment. I've read differing opinions on this particularly with regard to the tanalising treatment being removed as the timber is cut. The arch is something along the lines of a 'pagoda-shaped' top and the sides and top will be infilled with 'woven' trellis (32x6mm).
There will be the odd decorative groove on the posts and some rounding over of the edges of various rails etc.
Any advice appreciated.
