Ronseal Decking End Grain Protector - Green - 750ml

Its main purpose is to protect the cut ends of decking boards from rot, decay, and fungal attack, which are common weak points in wooden decks.

While it offers protection, it is specifically formulated for end grain. For full surface protection and aesthetics, it is recommended to use a dedicated decking stain or oil as a top coat.

Drying times vary depending on temperature and humidity, but it is typically dry to the touch within a few hours. Always refer to the product packaging for specific drying times before applying a top coat.

This product is available in a 'Green' colour variant, often designed to be less noticeable under decking stains or oils, or for use where a subtle green hue is desired.

Coverage will depend on the porosity of the wood and the thickness of the application. A 750ml tin is generally sufficient for treating the cut ends of a standard decking project. Refer to the product label for specific coverage estimates.

Regular maintenance of your decking is recommended. Reapplication frequency will depend on environmental exposure, but typically, it is reapplied during periodic deck treatments, usually every 1-3 years, alongside your main decking finish.

Ensure the temperature is within the recommended range for application and that there is adequate ventilation. Avoid applying in very humid conditions.

This product is designed for cut ends and preventative care. For severely decayed wood, replacement may be necessary. Ensure thorough application to all exposed end grain.

Ensure the protector is completely dry before applying the top coat. If there is any surface tackiness, it may need longer to cure or a light sanding.
