Termite prevention on a floating deck platform
I built a small (8x4) deck platform as a staging area for our hot tub. The base is 2x4 pressure treated wood and the slats are redwood. I placed it over a layer of gravel. I have discovered that termites created pillars to get to the deck slats. So clearly I need to do something. I looked at Trex and would rather not pay that money if I don’t have to. Is there anything else I can do? I can’t tell if the fabrics I have been looking at would work and I’m worried they would trap water/ moisture between the layer and the wood. Thanks for any help! submitted by /u/spackletr0n [link] [comments]
