Preparation Before Application

Before you start your project, it’s essential to note that Ronseal One Coat Fence Life is specifically formulated for rough sawn wood and should not be used on decking, garden furniture, or other smooth planed woods. For such surfaces, alternative products are available.

To ensure optimal results, choose a warm day with temperatures above 10°C and no rain in the forecast, as cold and wet conditions can hinder the stain’s drying ability. Prior to application, make sure the wood surface is clean and dry. A stiff brush can be used to remove any dirt or debris, ensuring the stain can adhere effectively.

If you are covering a bright or contrasting colour, additional coats may be necessary to achieve the desired finish. Fortunately, this product is safe to use around plants and pets, giving you peace of mind while working in your garden.

Application Methods

You have the option to either brush or spray the stain, allowing for flexibility depending on your preferences:

- Brushing: Load your brush generously with stain and apply a thick coat directly to the wood, ensuring not to spread it too thinly. After one hour, the wood will be 100% showerproof, with a full drying time of approximately four hours. For weathered wood, consider applying a second coat after this drying period.

- Spraying: Pour the stain into the spray tank, pump or turn it on, and begin applying using long, sweeping horizontal movements. For consistent coverage, overlap each pass by 50% and work across the full width of the fence panel, moving down to repeat the process as needed.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Regular inspections of your wood structures are advisable to identify any signs of damage. Should you discover any, simply apply another coat of Ronseal One Coat Fence Life to reinforce protection.

For cleaning, remove excess stain from your brush and wash it in warm soapy water. It’s important never to dispose of leftover stain down drains or waterways; instead, contact your local council for proper disposal methods.

With Ronseal One Coat Fence Life, you can enjoy lasting colour and protection for up to two years, making it an excellent choice for your outdoor wood care needs.
