OK .. an odd one ...
Built myself an outbuilding in Oak Barnstyle ... with 6x6 posts, gallows
brackets etc.
Only using treated softwood not Oak.

The centre post is now being shredded by a cat ... presumably sharpening
it's claws, the front looks like it's been attacked with a saw, and it's
shredding off the corners.
Not a particularly good pic ... just took it in dark .. but you can see the
damage.

I find slivers of wood on the drive every morning.

I bought some anti-scent marking spray - but that is having no effect.


I did wrap it in plastic DPC for a couple of months ... didn't touch the
plastic ..(or any of the other posts)
But black dpc looks bad.

Suggestions ? .. only thought so far is to clad in chicken wire ... but
abstract minds of d-i-y bound to have a better idea.
