Probably wasn't the best time of the year to be getting a new shed, but its done now... I just need to know how best to treat it.
The shed is still a little damp from a post erection (can I say that!) spray treatment of a spirit base preservative. Prior to delivery, the panels were also dipped into a water based preservative that contained a little wax for protection during storage and transport... The shed was built on site by the suppliers. Its a solid 28mm T&G with 3x2 framing, and is 12x8ft.
I conscious of the fact that winter will be here soon, and want to know how best to treat the shed, and am not planning on scrimping, as I want it to last, it also cost me a fair bit!
I was thinking of staining/preserving, then sealing.. but given that it is still a little damp, I don't know if this is best. There's also the chance of rain on a daily basis, and very little hope of any sunshine. I just don't know what to do!
Would really welcome some advice...
