Do I need to treat the wood before painting or staining?

Troubleshooting

Timber appears to be weathering unevenly.

Ensure the initial preservative treatment was thorough and evenly applied. Reapply a suitable topcoat (paint or stain) to provide consistent protection.

Gallows brackets feel loose after installation.

Check that all fixings are tightened securely into the wall. If the wall material is suspect, use appropriate wall plugs or anchors for the specific wall type.
