Ronseal Fence Life Plus Exterior Wood Paint - Dark Oak - 5L

This opaque treatment is designed to cover existing compatible finishes. For best results, ensure the old finish is not flaking and the surface is clean.

On average, one 5L tub covers about 30m². Measure the total area of your fences and sheds to estimate your needs, remembering to account for multiple coats.

Ronseal Fence Life Plus is specifically formulated for vertical surfaces like fences and sheds. For decking, a dedicated decking stain or oil is recommended as it's designed for foot traffic.

Clean tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until clean.

While wet, keep pets and children away from treated areas. Once dry, it is considered safe. Always cover plants and sensitive areas during application.

The final colour can vary slightly depending on the original wood colour, type (rough sawn vs. smooth planed), and the number of coats applied. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Ensure the wood surface was clean and prepared uniformly. Apply an additional coat, ensuring even spread and consistent application pressure, especially on porous rough-sawn timber.

Check ambient temperature and humidity; drying times can be extended in cold or very damp conditions. Ensure the coats are not applied too thickly. Allow more time for drying.

Wood porosity varies; rough sawn wood will absorb more. Ensure even application and that the surface is clean. Some areas may require slightly more product.

Ensure the recommended number of coats (2 for rough sawn, 3 for smooth planed) was applied. Heavy exposure to extreme weather can also affect longevity; a recoat may be necessary.

Ensure the product is well stirred before use. Check the sprayer nozzle for blockages and clean as per the sprayer manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the product consistency is correct for your sprayer.
