are you speaking of experience there sparky

there were a few at my old school when the nitty nurse used to come round they were sent home with an acompanying letter one lass was nicknamed fleabag and another mucky john

Can't beat creosote and old engine oil mixed together. The torouble is its carcenogenic and poisonoius but that was the point! stops the bacteria/fungii that starts digesting the cellulose in the wood, which is the cause of the rot.

If Joe Public would just stop licking sheds

I beg to differ. The Wickes offering looks the same and smells similar but is creosote substitute. It works but does wash off after a year or two outside. I've done my barn with it as it was easily available, but I can buy the proper stuff from my local agricultural supplier.

Got to agree banned in 2013 but only for domestic users I have a small holding in the UK and can purchase the original creasote( one of my distant relations worked in the Welch coal mines and could buy it for a shilling a gallon) I bought 50l and it was just over £100 with your tax. You do not require a DEFRA licence to purchase it

Sodium Chlorate a cheap weed killer is also banned I think it due to the british bowing down to the EU.

One post said "The torouble is its carcenogenic and poisonoius" so is oxygen but it is in the air we breath

I think the main reason Sodium Chlorate was banned was its oxidising powers and the ease with which you could make fireworks/bombs with it by adding sugar!
