FAQs

Can I use Ronseal One Coat Fence Life on smooth, planed wood?

No, this product is specifically formulated and designed for rough sawn timber surfaces like fences and sheds. Its adhesion and performance may not be optimal on smooth or planed wood.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Ronseal One Coat Fence Life is touch dry in just 1 hour, allowing for quick project completion.

Do I need to apply a primer or base coat?

No, a primer is not typically required. This product is designed to provide colour and protection in one coat directly onto clean, dry, rough sawn timber.

How much area will a 9L tub cover?

A 9L tub provides approximately 54 square meters of coverage (based on 6 square meters per liter), which is sufficient for most standard garden fences and sheds.

What is the best way to apply this paint?

For best results, apply with a good quality paintbrush, working the paint evenly into the grain of the rough sawn timber.

Can I use this product indoors?

No, Ronseal One Coat Fence Life is an exterior wood paint and is not recommended for indoor use.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean brushes and other application tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour or patchy finish after one coat.

Ensure the product was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply evenly, working the paint into the rough sawn timber. A second coat can be applied for improved colour uniformity if desired.

Paint not drying within 1 hour.

Check the weather conditions; high humidity or low temperatures can extend drying times. Ensure the timber surface was completely dry before application. Apply in thin, even coats rather than thick layers.

Poor coverage or colour fading quickly.

Verify that the surface was clean and free from loose debris before painting. Ensure the product was well-stirred. Rough sawn timber can be very absorbent; apply sufficient paint to saturate the surface, adhering to the recommended coverage rate.

Paint peeling or flaking.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure all loose material, old flaking paint, or dirt is removed from the timber before applying. The surface must be dry and clean for proper adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Before opening, ensure you have a stirring stick and a good quality paintbrush. Protect surrounding areas with dust sheets or newspaper. Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, algae, or loose flakes. For best adhesion, lightly brush down older, weathered fences.
  2. Stirring: Open the 9L tub and stir the contents thoroughly. Continue stirring periodically during application to ensure the colour pigments remain evenly distributed.

Compatibility

This product is specifically formulated for rough sawn exterior timber, such as garden fences and sheds. It may not adhere or perform optimally on smooth, planed, or previously varnished wood surfaces. It's not suitable for decking or garden furniture where heavy foot traffic or frequent skin contact occurs.

Care

  • Application Tools: Clean brushes and any other application tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
  • Spills: Wipe up any spills immediately with a damp cloth before the paint dries.
  • Storage: Store the remaining product in its original, tightly sealed container, in a cool, dry, frost-free place, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is securely replaced after each use to prevent drying out. Do not store below 5°C or above 30°C.
