Hi all,
I've just constructed a large bin tidy from H3 treated pine to be situated in our garden (2.6 w x 1.4 h x 1.4 d). This is my first external project (I usually make indoor furniture) and living in a very wet Sydney suburb, am concerned about getting the treatment right.
I am naive about such things and assumed that H3 meant long outdoor life. Now a few web searches later and I'm slightly better informed and realise I need to actually do something more. Currently the structure is dry and sitting out of the weather and my plan was to wait for a string of sunny days (fingers crossed, later this week) and take it outside and spray it with Eco Wood Oil decking oil before mounting it outside on its base.
In addition, I've been told by a builder friend that I should focus on the diagonal bracing which will draw water into the joints and promote rot over time.
So my question is - given I am planning to oil and not paint, how, if at all should I treat the joints? I have done some searching but haven't found an approach that appears to be sufficiently specific.
Any advice gratefully received.
Many thanks and my humble apologies for asking what is clearly a schoolboy question,
David
