zero probs he may help save the planet and feel better but not doing the fence any favours and have to renew it in less than half the time mine will last . farmers still use it as it stops rot and kills bugs and woodwormHe works for the HSE. What's the chances of Parm using creosote?
Could be done but I don’t think much fence painting would get done
I saw it happen near my old house, someone installed a nice fence in their front garden.... and their chavvy neighbour promptly painted their side bright blue! (We all know that sort of neighbourhood)
That's how I got it, aunt used to keep chickens and treated the coops with it, it's the only way to stop woodmites or something iirc. Not sure exactly how she got it, a dozen chickens hardly qualifies you as a farmer but Mr Fox ate them and it's mine now.farmers still use it as it stops rot and kills bugs and woodworm
Thats what I used...the paint that is....it works well but needs 2 coats.....the sprayer is crap which is why I went and bought the Wagner Electric one
Wasp food.

Not just me with a dodgy batch of it then. I even put a plaster paddle on the drill to try and get a better consistency.That is the exact same stuff I used, thought it was a bit of a bargain as branded, really odd consistency like thin cream cheese and its a sod to get it into the wood grain, posts on getting that stuff through an LP hand pump... good luck with that! Also one coat my arris. Friendly with any firemen who could run through a you know what?
