[Misc] Any Carpenters on here?

[A mex eyecan]

if so bit of advice please.

I’m putting a pergola over a fish pond, and the wood we have is celcured. I know I cant put that over if it’s very fresh in case any chemicals leach out into the pond water.

I’m thinking of putting in a wood stain on the wood, but how long do I have to wait for the wood to become possible to treat. And then will a water based stain work? Am i best to keep the wood indoors or outdoors whilst waiting for the treatment to fully cure/dry?

I’ve tried googling but can’t seem to find what i’m looking for.

I’d keep any water based paint/treatment away from newly tanalised sawn timber

 

[Is it PotG?]

Only yesterday we had one I think.

It's yesterday once more.

Personally I'd use a wood close to yew.

Think you’ve missed a post man.

No, you’re wrong - it’s only just begun

You are getting confused with U2 there, my advice would be to leave it during this weather as its not a good idea to apply on rainy days (or Mondays)

Why not coat away from the site and allow to dry naturally ?

i was wondering about how long to let the wood coating dry before i put anything else on. and i’m also unsure if a water based coating will be enough

Treated timber I tend to leave for a year before thinking of putting anything on.
