There were a couple of threads a few weeks ago discussing the pros and cons of spray-on wood preservatives. I bought B & Qs own-brand sprayer and Timbercare preservative to treat an 8 by 10 shiplap garden shed, mainly because two of the sides are too close to neighbours fences to reach with a brush. I am very pleased with the result. There were some runs in places where the preservative had gone on too thick, but these disappeared on drying. I just need to brush some preservative on in a few places where it is a bit thin or the spray has missed. The sprayer nozzle didn't block up even though the preservative is quite thick. I used the dark brown shade of Timbercare - it looks more like medium brown at first when wet but it dries to a dark brown waxy water-repellent finish.
