I've bought a second hand play house, which needs some work done to it. Mainly the base requires rebuilding. It consists of wood cladding planks nailed on to long battens. Question is, how would you treat the wood, bearing in mind it's going to be outdoors, resting on a block paved patio. I don't want the base to start getting rotten in a few months time. What's the best stuff to use to protect the wood?

to show you now wickes site is improved!
the most effective is surely engine oil and paraffin. New oil rather than used. It doesnt leave an oily finish, the paraffin makes it all soak in.
