We bought out wooden outdoor timber setting a while back.

It was quite a bit of work to set up as it came in boxes and I had to bleed it too, so very time consuming and also it used a lot of water too.

Part of the care and maintenance of the timber outdoor setting is keeping it oiled, this protects it from the weather and specifically here in Brisbane, the Queensland summer months where the sun roasts everything and the heat is up there too.

So what I had to do as I had to do originally was put a few coast of oil on all the chairs and the tables, so oiling the wooden outdoor timber setting had to be done from the start.

I was told, when we bought the timber setting that we would probably have to oil it every six months or so, but it was starting to look a bit dry so I made the choice to do it now rather than let it get to bad.

I did this over the two days above as I only had a little time to do it on the 24th, so I did the table and four chairs, and then finished it off on the 25th with finishing the rest of the chairs off, so all in all I’d say about a two and a half hour to three hour job.

Tree services companies here in Brisbane are many, you just look at the listings when you Google “Tree Services Brisbane” and also if you look for “Tree Service Northside Brisbane” or “Tree Pruning North Brisbane” just as many come up, so I thought I’d let you know about the people we use (Or are about to use at time of writing this) for our tree services as they are coming on Wednesday to give some of our tree’s a trim.

We have been in our house for about a year and a few of the tree’s feel like they have exploded in their growth and are getting closer and closer to our decking area, so come the time to book in tree experts to come and quote and then to do the job there after.

My Wife’s parents have used this company before as they had to get a new driveway laid on the land they were subdividing, so they had to get this area cleared, in that case there were about eight trees to remove, stump grind and mulch.

They had done a very good job at this, so we decided to get them in to give our tree’s a prune before they get too big.
