## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is Creocote effective for in-ground use, and safe for nearby plant roots?**
A: Yes

**Q: Will it do harm if I use it to treat some timber for garden raised beds?**
A: It’s toxic and therefore I think it’s better not to use it for raised beds. It could leach into the soil. I used it on a garden shed to try and preserve the timber and it’s ok for fences as well. It can burn foliage when wet.

**Q: Will it need 2 coats**
A: Hi 

adding additional coats will offer better protection, and will also stain the timber darker as each coat is added.

Regards

Postsaver

**Q: Will it be enough to do two coats**
A: Yes

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absorbed very easily, brought wood back to life
*by A***E on 1 December 2024*

Dilapidated allotment shed, this liquid restored my wood, the dry parts straightened a bit and I was able to get some panel pins in. Colour is excellent. Easy to use, via a paint kettle. I took the recommended brush and the runny liquid went all over me, down my arms and splashed my glasses etc. It all came off, eventually. I am going to do the inside today and will use whatever is left of the two containers on the outside again. This is an excellent product, the oil helps rain run-offNo cleaning up will be attempted and all the used items will be bagged for the tip. I will be wearing long rubber gloves and over-glasses

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product 😃
*by W***E on 29 May 2025*

Excellent product! 😁 used on fencing, went on easy, dried well and covered evenly, only had to use one coat too, packaged well and arrived quickly, recommend and have already ordered some more 😃As for comments on it being thin/runny liquid: it’s oil based wood treatment not ‘fence paint’ so obviously it’s not as thick as paint so use less on your brush it won’t run 👍

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really impressed
*by A***R on 12 May 2025*

Love this treatment, the colour is great, it soaks right in to the wood unlike paint that just sits on top, its a bit messy but worth it knowing your wood is going to be protected and last a lot longer which is what I wanted for my new shed base, it does have really strong smell but in my opinion that's how u know its good stuff, the 4L bottle did 4 sleepers with a bit left and I did really soak them in it so although its a bit pricey it does go a long way, the only downside was how long it took to arrive but thats just me being impatient probably
