Rebuilding A Grotty Chicken Shed

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:

Creocote is pretty useless.

Some of my fencing has been done with Creoseal and that seems to be a lot better.

Probably not as good as the real Creosote though ...

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.

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 ...
