New build timber

Postby Mickp » 04 Apr 2018, 14:04

Hi all,

Following a few guides on here I have decided to have a go at building a few sheds/summer house in the garden. I was considering the brick plinth with timber frame on top then cladded with feather edge.
What are the thoughts on using untreated timber for the framing ?
Im using 3x2 for the sheds and 4x2 for the sumeer house, , I dont mind paying the extra for tanalised etc, but if untreated is fine then I wont bother.

What do you guys suggest?

ive done a rough plan of the buildings on paper, but when i get time I will do something electronically and get it up on here


Cheers
Mike

It MUST be treated, but I don't think many people used tanalising these days.

I thought 'tanalised' was pressure treated ?

It refers to one particular manufacturer's product. There are lots of alternative pressure treatment chemicals.
