Martin:
Please excuse the state of the decking as this winter has been a long and very wet winter with some frosts and it has lifted the stain preserver, so I guess it was not a very good preserver But it will get redone this year with something hopefully better. If it does not work again, then the decking boards will be removed and replaced with larch

Hi Martin,forgive my English limitations:
I think you're talking about wooden floor's planks..you should use "autoclave-impregnating-pine planks" for outdoor(chrome free)..it's cheap and polishable
or "composite eco-wood" (a mix of sawings wood and PET)



anyway..if i have misunderstood you:enjoy your garden !
