terryd 8,423 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hi what is a cheap way of treating wood against the weather ? I made a hutch today out of some wood I had laying around but it was all untreated stuff. Never made one before but it turned out quite good. My hob is in it now as I didn't feel happy with him in the pets at home job just seemed so thin. At the moment I just have a tarp on top but I have a horrible feeling once it rains the wood is all going too warp Quote Link to post
