Just got an allotment and the shed needs tidying up. When is the latest I
can attempt this? Should I wait for the Spring?

You need to wait until the wood is dry. If it is not rotten, you can
use something like Cuprinol, which I have used for years. Comes in
several colours as well.

Cuprinol works very well, despite Which? once giving it the thumbs down.
I'm a bit fed-up with Which. It isn't what it was. Have already
cancelled Gardening Which and am seriously thinking of cancelling the
main sub.

You should see the inside of my shed, there's hardly any room to step in
what with all the clutter. Every once in a while I have a grand clean out,
but it quickly returns to the usual shambolic mess. The strange thing is
that I know where everything is. I always slap more preservative on the
outside early spring.

I felt much better after I cancelled the whole lot.
We have got to the stage where no-one reads it and it sits in the
bathroom for months before being discarded. Didn't we discuss this here
a few weeks ago?

It is indeed best done in the spring when drying conditions are more
favourable, however depending on how bad it is a treatment now can only help
preserve the wood. I had good results with an el cheapo wood preserver
bought from Lidl, in fact my son commented that he thought I had bought a
new shed. One advantage of using the more expensive products like Cuprinol
is that they can be applied with a garden sprayer now that really does speed
the job up.

Thanks to you all.

Having just rotovated the site I am frustrated by the timing. Why can't it
be Spring? :-(
