Tip - Pre Drilling
Drilling holes in seasonal timber - should be drilled to the Diameter of the screw or nail + 10% this allows for timber shrinkage. This aviods splitting the timber
"Oil your timber" - Try to oil your timber every 6 months use the daylight saving clock change as a reminder, You like the look of timber keep it that way but I seen many of these timbers go so grey in colour nothing will bring back the lust they had when new - what a shame, If you are a busy person once every 12 months will do check out Cabots Oil for timber Site
For best results, always use seasoned or ‘kiln-dried’ timbers. Do not use unseasoned or ‘green’ timbers as penetration of stain will be limited due to the high moisture content, and the timber may warp and twist.
