Pergola Satisfaction


Sun 1.00pm 30 O C 11KM Roo+Lake  44m43

After about four weeks of stripping and sanding the first of two pergolas at the front of my house I finally finished one! After canvassing many opinions about how best to treat exterior wood I finally decided not to paint, not to re varnish, not to stain but to treat with decking oil! It went on a treat, real easy , two coats and looks great!
Decking oil is cheap compared to stain and does about the same job and will be easy to maintain.

The photo is me at The Palace aged about 13 , Gola Hornet, oldest brothers (Peter) baggy shorts, London Irish singlet. I look kinda relaxed, never see me blowing out my cheeks like that these days! Looks like I'm carrying a flag but thats on the infield!
