Egluntyne Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 My run is made of pressure treated timber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It's best to just start with treated timber, then for added weather resistance paint on more if your worried. I am repainting mine very very soon and it's less than a year old, AND it's treated already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Mine is just normal timber painted with fence stain stuff , has been up a yr and is fine. though it is on bricks so none touches mud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I've bought pressure treated wood You can buy water based animal/bird friendly wood preserver though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 mine was animal friendly i checked the tin, i think they are all pretty good as long as you don't use it wet around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
