This is the next stage to creating my shed base.

In  this video you can see the wood on the left has been treated for woodworm, as I don't want any  wood bugs spreading to my new shed. (I do plan to make a shed too, when the base is eventually accomplished.) The new fence posts have also been treated, to make them woodworm proof, and more water resistant, plus this adds to the life of the wood. To treat the wood can cost as little as £13.00 if you are willing to paint it on yourself with a brush, but buying spray canisters will add to the cost. The old fence, which kept blowing down in the strong Essex winter winds did have a lot of rotten pieces, so these were removed. I cannot mention how many people advised me to keep the old rotten fencing, and patch fix it, which could be either laziness, or ignorance, but on my own examination some parts just had to go! Makeshift? Yes please!
Some of the wood, I will keep, but first I had to remove all the nails, which is called cleaning. This is done because we do not want nails in the recycling wood bin do we? I then stacked the usable wood neatly, so I could see just how much could be recycled. I think I will choose a mesh fence, which lets light through, and also, is more resistant to the strong winds of Essex.
