_______________________
Not all tired timber needs replacing, but some of it definitely does. The real skill is knowing the difference.
On this job, we looked at a garden that had taken years of weathering and made the call on what to rip out and what was worth saving.
With the structure sorted, the focus shifts to protecting what’s there so it actually lasts.
Key takeaways
• Replace timber that’s structurally failed, don’t try to rescue it
• Restore sound timber by removing surface degradation before applying any treatment
• Always protect cut ends and exposed areas, that’s where failure starts
• Use the right finish for the job, high-wear areas like steps need different treatment
• Good preparation is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that fails
