| Jo:
Creosote is available on the web for delivery... of course you have to say it will not be used on a domestic property. My current choice of "shed/fence preservative" is one part old Diesel engine oil and one part of the modern creacote-crap stuff. The garage that I take my car for servicing is only too pleased to provide old engine oil so long as I supply a container for the oil :thumbup: Jo |

Creocote is pretty useless. Some of my fencing has been done with Creoseal and that seems to be a lot better. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01HR4C5AE/ref=psdc_1938799031_t1_B0098YT924 Probably not as good as the real Creosote though ... Dave |

The Creosote had pretty well dried / soaked in so time to put the floor together. A bit like an Ikea kit but with Paslode Nails :ddb: Went pretty well, but it's a heavy lump to lug about - particularly when I had it invert it. The floor is a sandwich of the 3" x 3" framework, the rusty steel anti rat barrier, and the 18 mm shuttering ply. Having knocked the loose rust off the sheets of steel I slavered them with Shell Ensis which will slow down the rusting. I just hope that the rats don't like eating it ! |

Dave, the version i used was Creoseal. Certainly seems to work. John |
| Bluechip:
Hi John Creoseal does seem to sort of work. Not convinced it's anywhere as good as the real stuff though :scratch: The water-based stuff wasn't Ducksback perchance? Some of my panels were done with that 2 years ago and they've gone green ... :bang: It might work on ducks but it's no damn good for fences .... :bang: again ... Dave |
