FAQs
How long does Ronseal Fence Life Plus last?
This product provides reliable five-year protection against various weather conditions and UV damage.
Can I apply this paint to damp wood?
Yes, Ronseal Fence Life Plus is specifically formulated to be applied to damp wood, offering greater flexibility for your painting projects.
Is it safe for pets and plants?
Yes, once the paint is fully dry, it is safe to use around pets and plants.
How quickly does it dry?
It is 100% showerproof within one hour of application and typically fully dry in approximately four hours.
What is the coverage rate?
A 5-litre tin offers approximately 6m² of coverage per litre, depending on the porosity of the wood surface.
Can I use this on decking?
No, Ronseal Fence Life Plus is designed specifically for fences and sheds. For decking, it is recommended to use products formulated for deck protection, as they offer different slip resistance and wear properties.
Do I need to apply more than one coat?
Generally, one coat provides excellent protection and coverage. However, for a deeper color or on very porous timber, a second coat can be applied once the first is fully dry.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying within the stated time.
Ensure the ambient temperature is above 10°C and humidity is low. Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Over-application can significantly extend drying times.
Uneven color or streaky finish after drying.
Thoroughly stir the paint before and periodically during application to ensure pigments are evenly dispersed. Apply with consistent, overlapping strokes. A second coat, applied after the first is fully dry, can help achieve a more uniform color.
Paint peeling or flaking prematurely.
Ensure the wood surface was adequately prepared, clean, and free of loose material before application. Extreme weather conditions shortly after application, or application over incompatible previous coatings, can sometimes lead to issues. Re-prepare the affected area and reapply.
Poor coverage or product runs.
For poor coverage, ensure the wood is not excessively porous; a second coat may be needed. For runs, apply thinner coats and avoid overloading your brush or spray gun. Brush out any runs immediately before the paint begins to set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Application:
- Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean and free from loose debris. While it can be applied to damp wood, optimal adhesion and finish are achieved on reasonably clean surfaces. Give the tin a thorough stir before and during use to ensure consistent color and performance.
- Application: Apply using a suitable brush for detailed areas or a spray for faster coverage on larger, open sections. Apply evenly along the grain of the wood.
- Drying: The paint is showerproof in one hour. Allow approximately four hours for full drying between coats or before exposing to heavy use.
Compatibility:
- Wood Types: Designed for use on all rough sawn and smooth timber surfaces.
- Condition: Can be applied to damp wood, offering flexibility in application schedules.
- Environment: Formulated for exterior use on fences and sheds. Do not use indoors.
- Safety: Once dry, it is safe to use around pets and plants, making it suitable for family gardens.
Care & Maintenance:
- Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes and sprayers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
- Storage: Store any unused paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying out and maintain product quality for future touch-ups.
- Reapplication: For continued protection and vibrant color, reapplication can be considered after the five-year protection period, or sooner if signs of wear or fading appear in highly exposed areas.
