Oh and Evie the cockapoo has been trying to help me 
Are you sealing all of the wood? You will need to ... What type of wood did you end up buying?So very close to finishing pascals enclosure, i keep trying to improve it but for now I am quite happy with this! Just gotta refix the good back on and we are dandy! I’ll take some photos with plants and bits in there
You can seal it with silicone and like @Beman says you’re gonna definitely need to seal that wood . The OSB on the bottom it’s like a sponge and will deteriorate quite quickly if it gets wet .. you can always use Flexseal to seal the wood just rough it up a little bit so it has something to adhere to . They sell it in black and clear . other than that nice job!!Just like to point out we didn’t use any adhesive or caulk ect, my dad suggested it but I said no! (Incase anyo Ed wondering why there’s a caulk gun in the photo)
Great skills thereSo very close to finishing pascals enclosure, i keep trying to improve it but for now I am quite happy with this! Just gotta refix the good back on and we are dandy! I’ll take some photos with plants and bits in there
Yeah we are going to seal the wood, I’m not sure what one from the UK would be safe though and it’s pine
Yeah I just wanted to check with everyone if there’s a certain type of silicone I should be using that obvs isn’t toxic, so again if anyone can suggest any sealants/ silicone I can buy from UK diy store that would be amazing! Id probably go for a clear!
Thankyou so much! It’s 1.2m tall by 60cm width and yeah I did buy a potting tray cover too that I’m going to put on it after I’ve sealed it to keep the plants in and I think the lay bin will take up a majority of the spaceGreat skills there
What dimensions did you make it?
Like others mentioned, think about sealing the wood, especially the OSB will be gone before you know it.
Anything that’s 100% pure silicone . Once it’s fully cured it’s not toxic .. same thing with the flexseal .. what’s the name of your hardware store there ? i’ll look it up and tell you what’s good
okay fab our DIY stores are called Wickes, Homebase, B & Q
I didn’t get a chance to look it up just got your notice, but all of those will work fine . Vera thane is an exterior finish they use on teak on boats and as long as that silicone is 100% silicone . they try to charge you more for marine grade which is nonsense because silicone is silicone make sure all of its thoroughly dry .
Yes of course, it’s all being done in the garden anyway and she’s in a spare room upstairs and we’ve purchased all the right varnish and silicone
When you’re finished please show pictures
I hate threads that end just like this and no finished Job
Haha I know what you mean! There’s a few posts I’ve seen with no end results ! Wether it be related to health or enclosure builds ah! I’ll put some photos on when it’s all doneWhen you’re finished please show pictures
You have some skill
