Could I use this to treat timber used in building a compost heap?

It will work fine on untreated lumber around the pile, but do not use below grade (underground)

IMHO yes. This product is designed to protect cut ends of dimensional lumber that were factory pressure treated to prevent insect and water damage. By applying this product on the cut ends you are restoring that protection to the lumber where the factory pressure treating was removed by sawing. HTH

Not sure why Terry suggested not to use below grade other than for environmental reasons. It is specifically made to protect treated or untreated, below ground, ground contact, fresh water and above ground.

No, this product is for application to bare wood. I've used a product like this for over twenty years, it is inorganic/mineral based and must penetrate the wood to react with the fibers.

Should work fine. I've used it to cover outside furniture and to dump piles of bark on while landscaping. It's pretty durable.

This product is specially formulated for use with cedar but can be used on redwood, teak or any other outdoor wood furniture.

Yes. That would be a good idea. I would suggest you use treated 4 X 4 around the perimeter with a couple cross members and marine plywood though

I don't really know this. But I think that if it could be used for that. Stanley heavy duty adhesive is very very good. The wooden parts are kept well adhered. In any case, depends on the treatment to be given to the parts that are going to paste.

It should be fine, but this is a fairly low-end product, best for temporary use or in low-traffic areas. I'd lean more toward refinishing or painting the wood.

I believe it can. I don't do much do it yourself stuff but I can tell you the wood is most likely stained the color it is and is not a shiny finish. So probably could work.

Yes, but you'll have to treat the wood. I'm using some of my shelves to store firewood, but used wood preservative on the 2x4's.

Yes and Yes. It has worked vry well for me in various apps - including wood to metal. Cures a little slower than indicated, but we live in a very cool-damp climate in the PNW.

I do not think that would work for compost, I discovered after purchase the cart needs to be weighed down to make the aerator dig into the ground.

That's pretty much what I use it for. I use it to prep recycled wood for reuse in woodworking projects, to protect my machinery. It works great!

I believe it would work well for that purpose. I use it for woodcarving all the time.

Hi. I honestly wouldn't use this to store composting material in unless it's light weight. It's walls, though they seem quite strong, I don't think are meant for constant weight or anything as heavy as fully composted material. I love mine for collecting ward waste while I'm gardening but then I take it to the 96 gallon (city of Seattle provided) bin for weekly pick up. Good luck to you though. Judy in Seattle

This material is totally safe for growing veggies or anything else you are going to consume. What you want to stay away from is green treated timber as well as railroad ties. Both are saturated with heavy toxic chemicals that would leach into the soil, and thus become absorbed by anything that grows in close proximity...

No. It's not designed for large particulates. It may help with the very fine dust you may get while working with wood.

I wouldn't recommend it for that, more for small jobs. If you have metal siding , it's possible it would work but again probably not the best approach.
