I think I'll go with the wind turbine :-) :lol:

Hi All, From the attached pictures you will see I have a wind tunnel down the side of my house passing over the decking and then down my drive. Any suggestions as to how I can reduce the problem without blocking off the area as I like the feel of the garden wrapping around the house. Our...

Thanks Dec, I shall go for the Fiddes Hard Wax oil followed by Protex. Thanks all.

Has anyone any experience using 'Fiddes Protex'? Will it take over BriWax and offer a waterproof protection?

Thank you to both of you for your replies. I must apologies, I didn't make myself very clear on my first post. We are having some new units made for our utility which will be untreated. ic1927, would you still go with the wax oil as 'TheDec'? Wax Oil seems to be winning with TheDec...

Hi, Our pine kitchen is finished in BriWax. We love the look but washes off. So I am looking for an alternative. We want a semi matt finish. I have seen two products. http://www.wood-finishes-direct.com/products/wood-finishes/wood-oils/hard-wax-oil.htm#0...

I used Wickes own brand timberlock screws and they did the job fine on my decking project. I used them as you intend, fixing the joist to posts and joist to joist. Easy to use, I skew screwed them in.

I was thinking of using my strimmer to get up to the edge.

Searched the forum to try and find an answer with out asking but no luck. I am currently laying a membrane in my borders that edge to my lawn. I intend to lay plum chippings on the membrane. Any suggestions on how to keep the chippings off the lawn? I don't want to use anything jagged...

Hi All, I'm trying to find a product to stain my fence as I don't like the silver grey colour it will go. I don't like the colours by Ronseal or Cuprinol. I like the Burma teak by Sadolin just not the price! So I have been trying to find an alternative. I did come across an Osmo product...

Hi All, Oiled my deck on Sunday. Thank you to all the advice I got on that post. It looks great. Does what it says on the tin. It now has the look it had before treatment when wet. I plan to start a new thread when I get chance (decent weather) with pictures. Hopefully more people will post...

Does any one know of very light oak treatment? Thought of using tinted decking oil but it's expensive and wont last as long as the stains.

Well, I bought Ronseal Fencelife Brush or spray (9 tubs!). I intend to brush as spraying is to risky. BUT I've bought Harvest Gold and boy it is Gold! Tested on an oddment of boarding. The wife isn't chuffed. What I want is a treatment that will preserve the colour of the fence...
