FAQs
How much area does a 5L tin cover?
A 5L tin of Ronseal One Coat Shed & Fence Protector typically covers approximately 25 square meters per coat, depending on the porosity and texture of the wood. This is usually enough for 5 fence panels (6x5ft) or one small shed.
Can I use this product on decking or garden furniture?
This product is specifically formulated for rough sawn sheds and fences. For decking, a dedicated decking protector is recommended due to different wear requirements. For garden furniture, a smoother finish product or furniture stain might be more suitable.
Is it safe for pets and plants once dry?
Once fully dry, the product is generally considered safe for pets and plants. However, avoid direct contact with plants and keep pets away during application and drying time. Always allow sufficient time for the product to fully cure.
Do I need to apply a primer first?
No, a primer is not required. Ronseal One Coat Shed & Fence Protector is designed to be applied directly to bare or previously treated rough sawn timber.
What is the best way to store leftover product?
Store any leftover product in its original container, tightly sealed, and in an upright position. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost to maintain its quality for future use.
Can I apply a second coat for extra durability?
This product is designed for 'one coat' application for its stated protection. While a second coat is not strictly necessary for performance, it can deepen the colour. However, ensure the first coat is fully dry before applying another.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or patchy colour after drying.
Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Stir the product thoroughly before and during use. Apply a single, even coat, avoiding over-application in one area.
Product not drying within one hour, or remaining tacky.
Check the local humidity and temperature; drying times can be extended in cold, damp, or very humid conditions. Ensure only a single, even coat was applied, as thick coats can impede drying.
Paint peeling or flaking prematurely.
Proper surface preparation is crucial. Ensure all loose material, dirt, and old flaking paint were removed prior to application. The surface must be clean and dry for optimal adhesion.
Poor coverage or product running.
Stir the product well to ensure pigments are evenly dispersed. Apply in controlled, even strokes with a brush, or fine mist passes with a sprayer, avoiding overloading the brush or sprayer nozzle.
