That looks great, I'd be tempted to stain it some lovely colours, or is that over the top for the Lottie?

You clearly haven't seen the colour of my shed which is next door to the decking  I'm going to just varnish it at the moment but still have some remaining paint from the shed so it may be going a teal colour

I thought I had, that's why I thought you might be tempted to colour coordinate it

I'm tempted to go all chintzy and paint it a completely different colour (this could be post night shift sleep deprivation talking). I'm thinking maybe pink, and then in summer when/if we have another allotment get together/competition I'll put some homemade bunting up around the shed and decking area, along with the bench cushion, bistro set and sun lounger, which are all different colours  I've officially made my garden/relaxation area that I've wanted for the last three years.

I haven't read all the posts - but Well Done!

May I offer my experience? I had treated pallet wood, and some not. The non-treated lasted 3 years before literally rotting down while the treated wood is still good. Both sides need treating.
