Ronseal One Coat Fence Life in Dark Oak is engineered to deliver reliable protection and a vibrant finish for your garden timber. Its quick-drying formula means you can apply it and see results rapidly, often within a few hours, depending on weather conditions. This treatment penetrates rough sawn wood fibers, creating a protective barrier against moisture ingress, UV damage from the sun, and general weathering.
Real-World Application: Imagine refreshing an old, faded fence. With this product, you can transform it in a single afternoon. For example, a 5-litre tub is typically sufficient to cover a significant area of standard fence panels. Apply it using a brush for precise work around edges or a sprayer for faster coverage on large, open surfaces. The Dark Oak pigment provides an opaque finish, effectively covering previous stains or timber imperfections while deepening the wood's natural character. It's ideal for sheds, fence panels, and other rough-sawn garden structures that require both aesthetic enhancement and durable protection against the elements.
Preparation: Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, loose flaking paint, or mildew. For best results, use a stiff brush to remove any debris. If the timber is particularly dirty, a timber cleaner can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
Stirring: Before and during use, stir the product thoroughly. This ensures the color pigments are evenly dispersed for a consistent finish.
Application: Apply a generous, even coat using a brush or a suitable garden sprayer. Work along the grain of the wood.
Rough Sawn Timber Only: This product is specifically designed for rough sawn sheds, fences, and other garden timber.
Not for Smooth/Planed Wood: Do not use on smooth, planed, or decking timber as it may not adhere properly or provide the intended finish.
Not for Decking: It is not formulated for foot traffic areas like decking.
Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes and sprayers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Storage: Store the unused product in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place, protected from frost.
Re-application: Re-application frequency depends on exposure to elements but generally, a fresh coat every few years will maintain optimal protection and color. Inspect your timber annually for signs of wear.
