Yes it's planed.. right then can do. But does that expose the timber by nipping off the tannalise ? Is the chamfer of r'over idea go with treating it all again? ( only got bartoline dark brown).

Should be pressure treated so will have penetrated to a point but using the Bartoline will mean it’s properly treated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My BCO just said to me, when visited here in june 'do 95mm between spindles, & 1100mm to handrail'. zh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoothorn Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 Finished! Will do 2nd coat on the ( roundover edged) handrail in next dry spell.. just got 1 on & mostly dry before rain coming midday. Huge thanks y'all especially Onoff for the metal bits & help with the design, & nozzles from GW. Very kind indeed chaps. Now to get the build signed off. Woohoo! Zoot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triassic Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 It's wet here today and seeing your finished balcony has prompted me to start designing mine. First job, a brew, then a read through the thread for all the best bits.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Is it all going to be stained dark with the Barrettine preserver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didn't have that in mind Onoff.. just take top rail off & do one more coat/ put back on. I did put waterbased clear no nonsense deck stuff on my cabin boards.. seems ok, I think you're point being I should treat the deck too? Which I forgot about. zh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any of the No Nonsense stuff put that on. Aldi/Lidl sometimes do cheap deck treatments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any cut ends of the deck board need treating anyway. If you have any of the No Nonsense stuff put that on. Aldi/Lidl sometimes do cheap deck treatments. Yes good idea.. it's the sensible option. The top horizintal brace timber is really poor/ light quality rough 1-1/2" x 3-1/2", so this best dark browned for sure. Spindles, a pain to paint.. might leave them/ £2 each so just replace as of when maybe. I need to ask a few Q's on here prior to booking in my nice BCO to sign the exthtion build off (impressed so far with my lower workshop build work).. so need a -quick- thread on this topic next. Thanks alot, zoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
