The Ronseal One Coat Shed & Fence Protector is engineered for straightforward application and consistent results in real-world outdoor conditions.
Its "one coat" claim holds true for most well-maintained, previously treated surfaces, delivering impressive coverage and color depth quickly. For new or heavily weathered wood, while one coat might provide sufficient color, applying a second light coat after the first has dried might be beneficial for maximum absorption and extended durability, especially in areas exposed to extreme weather. The formulation allows for smooth application whether using a brush, achieving an even finish, or a spray gun for faster coverage on larger surfaces.
Once dry, the protector forms a robust, water-repellent barrier. You'll notice rain beading off treated surfaces, which is a clear indicator of its protective qualities. This helps prevent rot and decay that can result from prolonged moisture exposure. The "lasting color" aspect is evident as the Dark Oak shade resists fading even after prolonged sun exposure, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your shed or fence through changing seasons.
The stated "up to 2 years of protection" is a realistic benchmark under typical UK weather conditions, provided the surface is adequately prepared and the product applied correctly. In areas with less severe weather or sheltered locations, you might even find the protection lasts longer. For example, a fence panel fully exposed to direct sunlight and heavy rain might show signs of needing reapplication closer to the two-year mark, whereas a shed wall sheltered by trees could maintain its integrity and color well beyond that.
Brush Application: For detailed work, corners, or smaller panels, a good quality synthetic brush will provide excellent control and an even finish.
Spray Application: For large areas like long fence runs, a garden sprayer (compatible with water-based paints) significantly speeds up the process. Ensure consistent passes to avoid streaks and apply in calm, non-windy conditions to prevent overspray.
Drying Time: While quick-drying, always allow ample time for the product to fully cure before exposing it to heavy rain or placing objects against the treated surface. Refer to the product label for specific drying times, which can vary based on temperature and humidity.
Coverage: The 12L tub is designed to cover a substantial area. Always estimate your required quantity based on the porosity of your wood and the number of panels or sides you intend to treat.
Proper preparation and application are crucial for maximizing the benefits of your Ronseal One Coat Shed & Fence Protector.
Clean the Surface: Ensure sheds and fences are clean, dry, and free from dirt, loose flakes, moss, algae, or fungi. Use a stiff brush or a suitable fungicidal wash if necessary.
Remove Loose Material: Scrape off any old, flaking paint or treatment to ensure a sound surface for adhesion.
Repair Wood: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate wood filler and sand smooth.
Cover Areas: Protect surrounding plants, paving, and furniture with dust sheets before starting.
Stir Well: Thoroughly stir the contents of the 12L tub before and periodically during use to ensure consistent color and performance.
Application Method: Apply with a brush for precise control or use a garden sprayer for faster coverage on larger areas.
One Coat: Apply one generous, even coat. While it's a one-coat product, ensure adequate coverage without over-applying, which can lead to drips or uneven drying.
Drying: Allow the product to dry completely before exposing it to weather or handling. Drying times will vary with temperature and humidity. Do not apply in rain or if rain is forecast within the drying period.
Suitable Surfaces: This product is specifically formulated for use on rough sawn sheds and fences.
Wood Type: Compatible with most common outdoor timber used for sheds and fences.
Not Recommended For: Decking, garden furniture (unless specifically stated otherwise on the label), or smooth planed timber (unless adequately prepared to accept treatment).
Cleaning Treated Surfaces: To maintain the appearance, periodically clean treated surfaces with a soft brush and water to remove dirt and cobwebs. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
Reapplication: The protector offers up to 2 years of protection. Monitor your sheds and fences annually. Reapply when you notice signs of fading, wear, or reduced water repellency to maintain optimal protection and appearance.
Storage: Store the unused product in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry, frost-free place. Protect from extreme temperatures. Do not store in direct sunlight.
