Instructions on  Ecoseal Tanalised Timber Treatment says that it should be used for above ground cuts. Does in ground cuts needs to be protected as well? If so which product should be used?

Good pick-up there @jacksumit! I'd suggest using Bondall 1L Inground Timber Protector for anything going in the ground. The aerosol product is an excellent and convenient option for above ground cuts, but the paintable bitumen will provide much better protection for cut timber in soil.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

None of the Woodcare products are being stocked anymore. What do you suggest for a brushable protection for H3 treated pine.  The spray can will not be sufficient for my task. and would be expensive to buys several cans.

Hello @Squeaka 

Please allow us to call our suppliers to see if they can provide their products in a larger quantity and in a brushable format. As soon as we have more information we'll get back to you.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi @Squeaka,

These products are for re-treating cut ends to return them to their original grade of envelope treatment. So, a can goes a very long way on cut ends. Since that won't be sufficient for your task, it doesn't sound like you're treating cut ends. Could you tell us a little more about what you would like to achieve here? Do you have H3-treated pine, and would you like to increase its treatment level to H4 so it can be placed in the ground? 

H3 Pine is for above-ground use and is already suitable treated for that purpose. Was your intention to re-treat it again with an H3-treatment?

I'm building 5m shed 3m wide with 2m high walls since the timber come in 1.8 or 2.4 lengths there will be a lot of cutting. 300g @ $22 - $25 seems costly for a can that i can see not lasting the distance on my shed.
