Product Information

Full details

This guide is for anyone looking to protect their wooden decking from the elements and maintain its appearance. The Ronseal Decking Protector offers robust waterproofing and defends against greying, splitting, rot, and fading, while adding a subtle brown tint. While highly effective for ongoing protection, it's important to note it's designed to protect well-maintained or new decking, rather than restoring heavily damaged or neglected surfaces.

FAQs

How often should I re-apply Ronseal Decking Protector?

For optimal protection and to maintain your decking's appearance, it is generally recommended to re-apply annually, or as soon as you notice signs of wear or fading.

Can I use this product on decking that has been previously stained or oiled?

For best results, it is recommended to apply Ronseal Decking Protector to clean, bare wood. If your decking has existing coatings, these should ideally be removed (e.g., by sanding or using a decking stripper) to ensure proper adhesion and performance. Always perform a test patch first.

What is the coverage rate for a 5-litre tin?

A 5-litre tin covers approximately 30-40m² with a single coat, based on the stated coverage of 6-8m² per litre. Actual coverage may vary depending on the porosity and condition of your decking wood.

How long do I need to wait between coats?

You can apply a second coat after just 2 hours, making it possible to complete your project within a single day.

Is this product suitable for all types of wood?

Yes, Ronseal Decking Protector is suitable for both softwood (e.g., pine, cedar) and hardwood (e.g., ipe, oak) decking, as well as smooth or ridged wood surfaces.

How do I clean my application tools?

Simply clean brushes and pads immediately after use with warm water and household detergent.

Troubleshooting

Decking still appears dull or uneven after application.

Ensure the decking was thoroughly cleaned and free of all debris, previous treatments, and moisture before application. Stir the protector well before and during use. Apply a second coat after 2 hours for deeper colour and enhanced protection, ensuring even application.

The protector is not drying or is taking too long.

Check the weather conditions during application. High humidity or low temperatures can significantly slow drying times. Ensure the product was applied thinly and evenly, avoiding thick coats or puddles. Ensure the wood was completely dry before application.

My decking looks patchy or streaky.

This often occurs due to uneven application or inadequate stirring. Always stir the product thoroughly. Apply along the full length of the boards, maintaining a 'wet edge' to prevent lap marks. Avoid applying in direct hot sunlight which can cause rapid drying and streaks.

I've spilled the protector on paving or plants.

Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth. If on paving, clean with water and detergent. For plants, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Always protect surrounding areas with sheets or tape before starting work.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive Protection: Effectively shields decking from harsh weather, preventing rot, fading, greying, splitting, and swelling.
  • Enhanced Appearance: Imparts a natural brown colour, refreshing the look of your deck.
  • Broad Compatibility: Works well on various wood types (softwood, hardwood) and surface finishes (smooth, ridged).
  • Fast Project Turnaround: Quick re-coat time means you can complete your project in a single day.
  • User-Friendly: Easy application methods and simple water/detergent cleanup make it accessible for most users.

Cons

  • Surface Preparation Required: Optimal results depend on thorough cleaning and preparation of the decking surface.
  • Colour Nuance: The 'natural brown' tint may appear differently depending on the original wood type and condition.
  • Coverage Variability: The actual coverage rate can vary significantly based on the porosity and condition of your decking wood.

Preparation

  1. Clean the Deck: Ensure the decking is thoroughly cleaned, removing all dirt, moss, algae, and loose old finishes. A dedicated decking cleaner is often recommended.
  2. Dry Completely: Allow the decking to dry completely before application. This can take 2-3 days depending on weather conditions. Moisture in the wood can prevent proper adhesion and protection.
  3. Repair: Ensure any repairs to the decking are complete, and all nails/screws are flush or recessed.

Application

  1. Stir Well: Stir the Ronseal Decking Protector thoroughly before and during use to ensure colour consistency.
  2. Test Area: Apply to a small, inconspicuous area first to check the colour and finish.
  3. Apply Evenly: Use a good quality brush or a decking pad. Apply thinly and evenly along the length of the boards, avoiding puddling.
  4. Multiple Coats: For enhanced protection and richer colour, apply a second coat after 2 hours.
  5. Weather Conditions: Apply in dry conditions, ideally when temperatures are between 10°C and 25°C, and no rain is forecast for at least 24 hours.

Compatibility

  • Wood Types: Suitable for both softwood (e.g., pine, spruce) and hardwood (e.g., oak, teak) decking.
  • Surface Types: Can be used on both smooth and ridged decking boards.

Cleanup & Storage

  • Tools: Clean brushes and application pads immediately after use with water and detergent.
  • Spills: Mop up spills immediately with a damp cloth.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, protected from frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
