Treating 10,000m of Jarrah
Hi everyone, this is my first ever post having just joined your forum.... I have just installed 10000 m of jarrah rails on galvanised posts and I'm unsure of what to use on the timber to treat and preserve it. The old creosote days are gone, but I'm hoping to end up with the same sort of look. Don't want to paint it white! Thinking I should be oiling, maybe Linseed and diesel, rather than painting to avoid having to remove the old paint once it fades. Heard of Stud Black - lanolin based product, but with mixed results from those who used it. Does anyone know what would be the best product to use on a job this size?

Heck!! 10000 is a long jobby. More expert (experienced) members will, I'm sure, come in to answer your question - I'm replying to welcome you to the board.

10 km of railing !! – what have you enclosed?
at that length I'd be looking at something I could spray on that doesn't need any subsequent wiping down or sanding

Thanks Soth and Ian,
It is fencing for an equestrian property. Agree that it will definately need to be sprayed on, just not sure what to spray on, any thoughts? I'm guessing I will need about 300litres of whatever I use.
Regards,
Paul.

1st off check the required colour with your client.
Equestrian rails are often white, something to do with how horses see I believe

Yeah horses seem to go nuts over what seems to be the most harmless of noises.
Been known to do some serious damage to themselves in wire fences, especially since they can run quite quickly (obviously). Seen them just charge thru strands of the white tape electric fences when spooked that the boss strings up around his place. Insane creatures if u ask me. Only my opinion.
White for a horse fence sounds good to me.www.lockwoodcanvas.com.au
I will never be the person who has everything, not when someone keeps inventing so much cool new stuff to buy.
From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".
