Best timber pool treatment

Postby elscouser » Sat Jul 09, 2016 5:53 pm

Any advice on best varnish to color but also treat the wood? This is obviously already tanalized timber but its a few years old now and could do with a refresh - it is also its first year in Spain!

Does anyone know of anything i can buy in Bricomart/Leroy merlin to protect the timber from moisture but also bugs etc - and roughly how many liters i would need, no idea!

I think the second question about how many litres you need depend on the area of the timber so I would measure the area of one piece then multiply by 8 for the outside or 16 for both inside and outside of the pool. Of course if you want 2 coats then you will need to double the amount.

Cheers, each of the 8 sides is 1.44cm wide and the height is 1.5 so ill do my sums!
