Cheap wood for a garden gate - can I paint over treated wood?
G'day Folks,
Google has failed me so far (but I'm still searching).
I need to build a garden gate really cheaply to improve the first impressions of the house so I can sell it with greater ease - well that's the plan - I'm doing a house doctor on the place and I need to cheer up the front.
Impregnated soft wood seems to be the cheapest and chunkiest stuff I can buy locally. It is the sort of stuff that has a yucky dirty slightly green hue to it. To improve the looks of this material I'd have to paint it with a white stain (it would then match in with the veranda I built last summer).
I'm a bit concerned that the yucky green pressure goo will come out like a rash on the finished product.
Has anyone got any experience with painting this cheapo junk wood?
