Post by: clarkson on August 08, 2011, 02:58:01 pm: hi all
looking at a large area of decking tommorow with ballistrade etc.

iam assuming its proper pressure treated decking not some old floorboards screwed down.

and after does anyone re treat it with seal or varnish?

where are you Rob ,Alan,Lee ;D

In this link to my site http://blast-away.co.uk/decking.aspx the decking cleaned in the image was firstly pre sprayed with hypo. The decking was never treated or stained previously.
