Browse Forums Outdoor Living 1 Mar 10, 2014 11:59 am I'm looking at doing a decking behind my house, trying to keep it as low as possible, was wondering if its possible to put the beams horizontally? I'm not worried about termites because these beams are treated and the pergola above the decking will not allow any water into this area anymore..

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best value decking oil (Bunning is close to where I live) for a treated pine deck? Thanks 0 13119 Use a product like Equisol's Vitalise to clean the deck then coat with a penetrating timber oil. It will look 10 years younger and add value to your home. Visit for… 1 16175 |
