Ronseal Fence Life Plus in Black Oak is engineered to deliver reliable performance in various outdoor conditions. Its formulation ensures that once applied, your sheds and fences are equipped with comprehensive all-weather protection, safeguarding against moisture ingress, rot, and general wear from the elements. The integrated UV protection is crucial for maintaining the deep Black Oak pigment, preventing the common issue of sun-induced fading over time.
The 1-hour drying time is a significant advantage, allowing users to apply multiple coats or complete projects quickly, even within a single day, weather permitting. Its opaque finish means that even weathered wood can be given a fresh, new look with a consistent, rich color. With an average coverage of 6 m² per litre, a 5-litre container can cover a substantial area (up to 30 m²), making it an economical choice for typical garden projects. It's particularly effective on both rough sawn and smooth planed timber, adapting to different fence and shed styles without compromising on finish quality or protection.
Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, mould, algae, or loose flakes of old paint/stain. For best adhesion and finish, lightly sand any very smooth areas.
Stirring: Thoroughly stir the contents of the tin before and periodically during application to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed.
Application: Apply Ronseal Fence Life Plus generously and evenly with a brush. Work along the grain of the wood. Avoid applying in direct hot sunlight or if rain is expected within 1 hour.
Drying Time: The product is touch-dry in 1 hour.
Reapplication: For optimal colour and protection, a second coat may be desired. Wait until the first coat is fully dry before applying the next.
Surfaces: Suitable for all rough sawn and smooth planed sheds and fences.
Not Recommended For: This product is specifically formulated for sheds and fences and is not advised for use on decking, garden furniture, or other high-traffic areas where a different type of protection might be required.
Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Product Storage: Store the product in its original container, in a cool, dry place, away from frost and extreme temperatures.
Surface Care: Periodically inspect your treated fences and sheds. Reapply Ronseal Fence Life Plus as needed to maintain protection and colour, typically every few years depending on exposure.
