Browse Forums Outdoor Living 1 Aug 02, 2013 5:50 pm We are having our merbau deck extended - is it possible to stain merbau to give it a different tone/colour - or are we pretty much stuck with the reddish colour that it is?? Am thinking if anything, could only go darker? I would have preferred a different timber to begin with, but the existing deck was already there when we bought the house so changing the entire deck would be too costly at this stage - so merbau it is. It's not even that I am opposed so much to the colour in itself (kinda ).... but..... I have ideas to introduce timber features elsewhere in our landscaping (screens and gates, possibly some benches) and I don't really want to use merbau for those - so trying to find a way to tone the merbau closer to whatever other timber we may use. It may not be an issue if we use a different timber in different applications - might look ok together (any opinions?). But just posing the question at this point as I ponder my future landscaping ideas. HHCIB Hi, you've probably already resolved this, however, Commbank will probably pay the funds to you after you send evidence the work is done regardless the change in the quotes. 1 35331 5 10494 2 2964 |
