I have just built the frame for a raised decking area and am ready to put the boards on.... the boards are 150mm treated softwood from a local timber yard. Was after a bit of advice... I am going to treat the ends with end grain preserver, the tins say it is green, can't find one that says clear? Will it stain it green?
Reading other threads it would seem that decking oil is the best bet? How long does the decking need to be down before treating it with the oil? Are the 'oils' much he same, ie is the Screwfix No Nonense one any good, someone has given me a brand new tin unopened and will use it unless advised otherwise!!
Thanks in advance for any answers/help, it's my first attempt at decking, so any advice is appreciated.
