Best time to treat my wood garden sheds?​

Maybe on their birthday and other special occasion?

If that's the Screwfix stuff, it certainly looks pretty good. I have an octagonal "Summerhouse" (it came with the house, the shape means it's poor for storage and it is currently the home of my grit blasting cabinet) it is something like 40 years old and is still in pretty good shape. I've just spent some time going around all the woodwork holding the panes of glass (6 x 10 inch ?) with Creocote. If that woodwork ever needed replacing, that would be very time-consuming. Of course, that was made when timber was an all together better commodity than it is now ! I just bought some 8' fence posts and sent some of them back; deep, long splits on every side and more knots than I could count.

creocote is total crap and bleaches after a year. get it on your hands and it does nothing get the proper coal tar stuff on and it burns like hell and the fumes on a hot day make you ill and your face burn

I don't miss dichloromethane and I don't miss Creosote - and I have worked with some bloody dangerous chemicals professionally.
