Ask your QuestionOur shed has experienced a lot of corrosion over the years. What is the best paint or/and preserver that can be used to improve the durability and weather-resistance of a wooden shed?
Asked by Robert on 28th Sep 2020"Tannalised wood is pressure treated by being put in a pressurised tank and having the preservative pumped into the wood and then sucked out under high pressure and the wood is guaranteed to withstand rot and corrosion when under the ground or water for ten years. If you also want to give the wood even more resistance to rotting then you can even paint or varnish it and oil based painting products are still at present the best way to protect your wood against the elements and rain or moisture."
