Question

Put pallet decking down a few weeks ago, but now thinking i should have probably treated/painted the pallets first? Any ideas/recommendations. Thanks.  

Answer 1

That blue paint is a preserve, I wouldn't worry. Because they're directly on the ground though, they will rot and will likely need replacing in around 2/3 years. In any event, you can unscrew the boards and put them on fresh pallets, but best to lay them on a base- flagging is ideal

@bonze that will keep it good for a while! Just make sure it doesn't act as a pond liner and hold water to the pallets :)

@pissarro9 ahh good point! I'll bare that in mind.
