Deker 3,453 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Stick with the shabby sheik look. I've just done some work on a nearly new, very expensive redwood, outside, single seat, trying to bring back that fresh new look, took me 2 weeks and I'll never do it again. It wasn't even bad, I thought half hour work with some oil and I'm in business, not a bit of it! Edited February 25, 2016 by Deker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,190 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Teak? Most the contractors have priced stuff in the jobs or can claim vat back etc So just skip it as don't want to haul it stuff around. When a job ends on a Friday they seem to go spring cleaning mad,I've had pull along plastic toolboxes filled with all sorts out of skips before now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pubs usually have a few lying round , either old or new . Mine was huge and brand new . Landlady said I could have it as they got them for free and she had enough . Either that or suit up at 4am and go shopping 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
