    Hi all

    Where would I buy those garden fence salts that you see nailed into garden walls or hiding wheelie bins.

    Really like them. Wouldn’t mind even making them. What wood, what cost, where would I buy.

    Thanks in advance

    Treated rough sawn timber, from any builders providers.

    If you're cutting down further, treat cut ends (particularly end grain) with something like Protim 265.

    Or you can use cedar or larch if you've money to burn. It looks nicer but is many times the price.

    Good man. Thanks very much for that.

    I’m looking to do a screen for wheelie bins, and a number of slatted screens for decoration on the boundary wall. Presumably those treated lumber can be painted without any problems.

    Know anywhere with construction plans that I could reference.

    Thanks again.
