Am going ot make 2 or 3 planters from treated 3/2" timber, will it need treating with something as well? Will the ends needs treating where I've cut it to size?
And if so, whats the best clear treatment for it please?
My first small garden project so looking forward to it!

You don't really need to do anything cosmetic to it because it's already been treated, but you can line it with plastic to stop it from rotting more quickly in contact with damp earth.
There's nothing stopping you painting it a pretty colour of your choice either....in a suitable paint form...Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi0
