[premobrown]

In need of some advise. I have a wood house in chiangrai we have a 3 car wood carport which is supported by massive teak tree trunks, theses unfortunately are rotting badly at the base they require attention asap is there any wood rot treatment products available here in Thailand that i can get my hands on? as i have said these tree trunks are massive i would probably need 20 litres (educated guess) Can someone point me in the right direction please

Could also be ants attacking same they love to nibble so some ant killer on the shopping list wouldn't go amiss.

No, I've not heard of teak rotting, one of the reasons it's used in boat building a lot.

Exactly, never heard about teak rotting, and also my opinion is that once wood starts rotting the only way to stop it is to cut it.

That's what maintenance carpenters do, rotted timber is always replaced.

It's probably wood from a mango tree. It was frequently used in CM area as a (OK for while) substitute for teak, and looks very similar. After quite some years however, it rots or the termites feast on it. Replacement is the only solution I know.

Let it dry as much as posisble, remove everything around them so the wind can blow around. Teak does rot, had a trunk full of orchids which was sprayed daily by the sprinkler and where it touched the soil (it was a standing arch) it was rotting.

Pour concrete around the base and make that waterrepellent will also work.

Teak oil also helps.

It rots when wet.

I'm building a sala out of old barn wood. The contractor is using this stuff on it.
