How To Care For Your Timber
May 21, 2017
We have a range of timber treatment products for protecting your Hardwood and Softwood timber fencing, gates, furniture, sheds and garden accessories from adverse weather, wood decay and wood boring insects.
For Hardwood Timber Post Care
Little maintenance is required on any hardwood timber. However, you can prolong the life of your hardwood by a little scrub with mild soapy water and a soft brush once a year. A wood preservative can then be applied once scrubbed and dried.
For Softwood Timber Post Care
Softwood are prone to rot, which is why all of our Softwood timber is pressure treated to protect from wet rot and decay. We would recommend you treating your Softwood timber by washing it down with mild soapy water once a year and applying a wood preservative.
