Wood preservative for "log cabin"

Sep 02, 2012 1 Replies

Just ordered a "log cabin" for the garden, i.e. a heavy duty summerhouse / shed in 28 mm softwood.



The floor bearers come pressure treated, but what treatment would the assembled company apply to the rest of the timber? Presumably solvent based rather than cheap water based "fence" treatment?



Would you do the "edges" before assembling? Use preserver inside and out, or just outside, with paint inside? I'm inclined to think some type of cuprinol outside, one of the microporous paints inside.



Just for casual use in the better weather, not a "home office".



TIA



creosote. Buy 25 liters

Really it probably doesn't need anything. - it will presumably be pressure treated.

The key is top get any wood OFF the ground and have an air gap underneath
