Pressure washed a 6 bar diamond braced farm gate, does it now need any kind of sealant applied?
The gate is about 15 years old, no signs of rot but was looking pretty disgusting with a fair bit of lichen and algae on it. Pressure washed it and now looks like new - wood is in very good condition, am now wondering if the pressure washing will have removed any kind of water repelling sealant...- Timberrr
