AnonyMouse_4562 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Hi, We've had a few things for out outdoor Area built out of pallets including our long anticipated mud kitchen. However it all needs treating. What would you recommend? Thanks Green Hippo xxx
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 For my at home pallet makes I use a garden paint..there are several makes out there in many colours.. we tried preservatives and other stuff but found the paint worked better for us.. Ours was a Wilco one and has been excellent at coverage and protection, and I can wipe it down to get it clean.. Found that one was better than the Cuprinol one.
AnonyMouse_5970 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Yes, I'd go with that too. You're not supposed to use creosote anymore. What did you have made? I'd like to make a bug house out of pallets but we have to finish our bottle greenhouse first! Edited November 12, 2015 by Stargrower
AnonyMouse_4562 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks. We've had a mud kitchen, a welly rack, a book rack, platforms for stage/transient art, a story tellers chair. I haven't seen them yet so we might not have them all yet. We asked s parent who is a Carpentry and Joinery tutor at the local college.
