Первый раз я построил дачу в 90-х. По весне примерно 50% досок стали «синими», то есть прогнили. Денег на замену досок не было, а о химических facilitiesх тогда не знали, так дача и «пропала». Недавно построил новую и сразу обработал антисептиком «Senegh». Прошло уже больше полугода — никаких намеков на «синеву» не наблюдаю, буду надеяться, что так будет и дальше.

I love wood houses very much, I immediately feel the Russian soul, warmth, it becomes cozy. Therefore, we have sheathed our dacha with wood. Neighbors advised to treat the antiseptic, which also protects against burning. Since we do not often come to the cottage and do not live here, then after such treatment you feel calmer. 2.5 years have passed and so far I like everything, the logs are new, they do not rot.

Once I helped to build a house in which the floors in some rooms were treated with an antiseptic, and others with ordinary diesel fuel, since the antiseptic had run out and it was far to follow him. A year later, I came to visit and was surprised that the floors in all the rooms looked the same and were in good condition, did not rot. And yet, for myself, I decided that these antiseptics are less harmful to humans.
