Do I re-seal timber end cuts in raised garden bed?

Hi, I’m wanting to build several raised garden beds on concrete. I’m using H4 sleepers. Do I need to re-seal the fresh cut timber ends and if so what would I use? The garden beds will be used for plants only not food plants.

Hello @cwo25 

 

My apologies for the late reply. If you've cut and exposed treated timber, I suggest using TWA Woodcare 300g Ecoseal Tanalised Timber Treatment to treat the cut edge.

 

Please remember to use personal protection such as appropriate clothing, gloves, goggles and a mask when using the spray. Please make sure to follow all the safety precautions printed at the back of the can.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
