Light coloured fence preservative
Jul 5th, 2007, 10:08pm
 
Hi,
Not sure if this should be here or on 'decorating'. I've got some wood from B&Q to make a fence - arris rails and boards, and they are treated but a very light colour, which i like. I can't find a similarly coloured preservative - everything i've tried or seen is more orange or darker than i like. Any ideas?? - i want something as close to bare wood as possible.
Many thanks
Andrew

Hi
Many thanks for the replies. I looked round B&Q at all the coloured treatments - didn't notice 'clear' stuff (!) - sounds just the job.
Many thanks - great site
Cheers
Andrew
