Replaced the base board at the front of our home and paint them with dulux outdoor paint - Surfmist.
Hello @simplyhomereno
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's fantastic to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your baseboard project.
What a difference a new baseboard makes. That dark moss-stained look of the old baseboard really dragged the overall look of the front porch. You can immediately see the difference when you installed and painted the new baseboards. This simple update has made the entire front look brand new again.
Again, thank you for sharing your baseboard project.

Thank you!! ☺️
Hi
I am new to this, can you please advice me as to what type of timber to use for replacing baseboards
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @virg01. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about replacing basebaords.
Let me tag @simplyhomereno so they are notified of your question.
I'd recommend you use LOSP primed pine boards for your project. They are sufficiently treated for outdoor use and come in a variety of widths to suit the look you'd like to achieve. Once installed, you simply need to paint them with a quality exterior paint such as Dulux Weathershield.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
