Thats very informative Lawrence. A word of praise for Wickes which I where I usually go for timber. There treatment seems very effective as I the decking is about 20 years old now and still going strong. The bearers were only about 2" x 2" and thats the weak point I guess. I would have liked to have used something heavier but it would have brought the top up so doors wouldnt have opened. Guess I could have cut all the bottoms off as Harold Steptoe would have done... marvelous that programme where he installed central heating.
The advantage of Wickes to me, apart from the book quoting the BS no's, is being able to go through all the lengths and select the best ones.
Well Colin in a couple of weeks pressure washing will be off the agenda with the hose pipe ban... shall I get out and do the deck before then? or shall I become an old scrubber? Now if I do a couple of planks a day it will only take me a month or so... and execise is good for you so they say.
cheers Gary
