Ronseal Fence Life Plus+ - Midnight Blue 5L

No, Ronseal Fence Life Plus is specifically formulated for use on exterior fences and sheds, both rough sawn and smooth planed wood. For decking or furniture, please use a product designed for those surfaces.

For best results, full colour opacity, and maximum protection, typically two coats are recommended. Allow the first coat to dry for 1 hour before applying the second.

Brushes and other equipment can be cleaned with water immediately after use. If the paint has dried, a paint brush cleaner may be required.

A 5L tub covers approximately 30 m² (based on 6 m² per litre). To estimate your needs, measure the total surface area of your fences or shed that you wish to paint, then divide that number by 6 to find the litres required per coat. Remember to account for multiple coats.

Yes, Ronseal Fence Life Plus is designed to provide protection to exterior wood, which includes resistance to rain and general weathering, helping to prolong the life of your fences and sheds.

It can be applied over most previously treated wood, but for best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and any loose or flaking material is removed. If the previous treatment is very dark or glossy, sanding or a primer might be beneficial, though not always necessary for an opaque finish.

Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of loose debris before application. Apply the paint evenly with a brush, following the wood grain. A second coat is often recommended for full opacity and an even finish, especially on highly porous or previously untreated wood.

High humidity, low temperatures, or applying coats too thickly can extend drying times. Ensure application occurs in appropriate weather conditions (10°C-25°C) and apply in thin, even coats. Good ventilation can also aid drying.

Highly porous or rough sawn wood may absorb more paint, reducing effective coverage. Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use to keep pigments evenly dispersed. Applying a second coat will generally improve coverage and durability on such surfaces.

This can happen if the paint is applied too thinly in certain areas or if the brush strokes are not consistent. Ensure a consistent, even application, working in manageable sections. Overlapping wet edges can help prevent streaks.
