FAQs
Does this product require a primer?
No, the Ronseal 5 Year Fence Life+ is formulated to act as its own primer and sealer in a two-coat system.
Can I use this on garden furniture?
This product is primarily designed for sheds and fences. For high-wear surfaces like seating, we recommend using a product specifically intended for garden furniture.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity, but it is generally touch-dry within a few hours.
Can I apply it if rain is forecast?
It is rainproof shortly after application, but it is best to avoid painting if heavy rain is expected immediately.
How many coats do I need?
To achieve the full five-year protection, you must apply two thorough coats.
Is it safe for pets and plants?
Once fully dry, the product is safe; however, ensure you protect surrounding foliage during the application process.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or patchy finish
Ensure you are applying the product consistently and stirring the tin thoroughly before and during application.
Product is dripping during application
Apply thinner coats and work the paint well into the wood grain rather than loading the brush too heavily.
Poor adhesion to the wood
Verify that the wood is not covered in grease, oil, or excessive dirt; perform a light sanding if the surface is too smooth or sealed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure that the wood surface is free from loose debris, dirt, or old, flaking paint. While the product can be applied to damp wood, standing water should be removed first for best results. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a dedicated fence sprayer for efficient coverage. For maintenance, simply clean the surface with a light wash if it becomes dirty over time. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent the product from drying out or skinning over.
