Best to see if the need for a new thread topic is needed before posting a repeated one Re: Decking 2Feb 11, 2011 4:07 am If search is not working for you use google to ramp up the power. Start with the terms Decking + Oil then use site:https://forum.homeone.com.au The result for Decking Oil "drying time" site:https://forum.homeone.com.au You are asking google to search this website https://forum.homeone.com.au by prefixing it with site: Takes 0.8 of a second and returns 1 entry. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=8763&start=40 The search is 3 terms - Decking - oil and "drying time" Putting it into " " keeps it as 1 term and not 2. Otherwise google searches for drying and time. Decking timber choice site:https://forum.homeone.com.au Is ambiguous and returns too many results. Decking "choice of timber" site:https://forum.homeone.com.au Returns 2 results. Google search operators that should also work here Exact phrase "____" Exclude the term -thisword using a minus - symbol. Using OR (capitalised) to search for Merbau OR spotted gum ("Decking oil") Merbau OR "spotted gum" "Decking oil" site:https://forum.homeone.com.au Which returns a mass of results which is why Foo posted the sticky. You can also use AND and NOT simply as + and - In the above search we got results for Merbau and spotted gum but it also has treated pine. So using - to omit words we can expand our terms now to reduce errors. Merbau OR "spotted gum" "Decking oil" -"treated pine" site:https://forum.homeone.com.au Returns a better result. Another thing to note Google also keeps the pages on its own server (which is why its so fast). Google cache pages are also displayed. If you want to eliminate them just add -cache:https://forum.homeone.com.au to the end and it will display only active or current results. (you can also use this cache to find pages Murdoch Media redacted daily ) http://www.mapelli.info/ultimate-google ... tips-guide Re: Decking 5Aug 13, 2015 6:02 pm Thought of putting wood decking for my new house's alfresco when it's finished building. Any idea what I will need to do for the base of the alfresco? Do I get the builder to credit us the paving and just lay cement? or just leave as sand? What are common things done in WA? Hi, as per the subject. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best value decking oil (Bunning is close to where I live) for a treated pine deck?
