The Ronseal One Coat Fence Life paint is engineered for straightforward application and reliable performance on rough sawn exterior wood. To achieve the best results, ensure your fence or shed is clean, dry, and free from any loose material, dirt, or mildew. While it's a one-coat solution, applying generously and evenly with a brush is key to both achieving the rich red cedar color and ensuring comprehensive weather protection. Its quick-drying formula means you can complete your project relatively fast, often within a single afternoon, allowing for minimal disruption to your garden activities. On average, you can expect to cover approximately 6 square meters per litre, so a 12L tub will adequately cover about 72 square meters, which is beneficial for larger gardens or multiple structures. For example, a standard 6ft x 6ft fence panel (roughly 3.3 square meters per side) would require less than a litre per side.
For optimal adhesion and a smooth finish, prepare the surface thoroughly. Ensure all wood is clean, dry, and free from dirt, loose paint, mold, or algae. A stiff brush can be used to remove loose debris, and for mold or algae, a suitable fungicidal wash should be applied and allowed to dry. Do not apply to wet or damp wood.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use to ensure consistent color and coverage. Apply generously and evenly with a good quality brush, working with the grain of the wood. Avoid over-brushing. While it's a one-coat product, ensure adequate coverage for full protection and color.
This product is specifically formulated for rough sawn timber such as fences and sheds. While it can be applied to smooth planed wood, the adhesion and longevity may not be as effective without prior light sanding to create a 'key' for the paint.
Regularly inspect your fences and sheds for any signs of wear or damage. Although designed for long-lasting protection, environmental factors can cause wear over time. Re-application may be necessary after several years, depending on exposure to the elements and specific weather conditions in your area. Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
