Designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts, Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback offers robust, long-lasting protection and a rich Harvest Brown finish for exterior wooden structures. Its key benefit is providing up to five years of weather resistance, keeping fences and sheds looking great and protected. A minor consideration is that it's specifically formulated for outdoor timber and may require re-application after five years for continuous protection.

This product is designed to provide 5 years of weather protection. For continuous protection and best appearance, reapplication is recommended approximately every five years, or sooner if you notice signs of wear or fading.
No, Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback is specifically formulated for rough sawn timber like fences and sheds. It is not recommended for smooth planed wood, decking, or garden furniture, or any surfaces that receive foot traffic.
No, a separate primer or base coat is not typically required. Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material before direct application of Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback.
Each litre covers approximately 5 square meters. Therefore, a 9L tin will cover up to 45 square meters, depending on the porosity of the wood and the number of coats applied.
You can apply Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback using a good quality exterior wood brush or a roller. Ensure tools are clean before use and cleaned thoroughly with water after use.
For best results, it's recommended to apply to bare or previously treated rough sawn timber. If applying over existing coatings, ensure they are compatible, clean, sound, and not flaking. Always perform a patch test.
Once dry, the product is generally considered safe for pets and plants. However, always prevent pets and children from accessing treated areas until fully dry. Avoid contact with plants during application.
Ensure the product is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply evenly and consistently. For rougher timber, use a brush to work the product into the grain.
Check ambient temperature and humidity. Drying times can extend in cold or damp conditions. Ensure thin, even coats are applied. Avoid applying too thickly.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply thinner coats to avoid runs. If applying to very absorbent wood, it may soak in faster, requiring more product initially.
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure all loose material, dirt, and old flaking paint/stains were removed prior to application. The surface must be clean and dry.
Colors can vary slightly depending on the wood type and its original color. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area of your timber before full application to confirm the desired color.
