Render over pine

[cart]

Hi There,
I recently made a planter box out of treated pine which was still wet (moist?)
The box has now dried and all those nice looking joins have gaps and various places slighty twisted.

To hide these would I be able to render over the wood as it is in its present form.

Thankyou.

No, render is for masonry surfaces. You could clad it in harditex and finish with an acrylic render compound such as granosite/acratex etc...

Thanks Pulse, I think it might become the woodbox instead.

Yep,
pulse is correct-o.
Don't use blue board it moves a bit.
buy cement sheet. It is cheaper and it doesn't expand or contract.
nail and liquid nail it. Then as pulse suggested, a coat of acrylic render top coat or textureed exterior paint. Easy peasy an afternoon's work.
