Preparation Before Use

Before applying Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Paint, it is crucial to select a warm, dry day with temperatures above 10°C. Start by clearing your deck and giving it a thorough scrub with a stiff brush to remove dirt, loose wood, and any peeling coatings. For optimal results, it is recommended to use Ronseal’s Decking Cleaner & Reviver to enhance paint adhesion and longevity. After cleaning, rinse the deck with a hose or a jet wash to ensure all dirt is removed, and allow it to dry completely before painting.

Application Instructions

When ready to apply, stir the paint thoroughly with a wide tool, such as an old wooden spoon, and check for colour satisfaction. Test a small hidden area of the deck to confirm your choice of colour. Using a quality brush or decking pad, load up with paint and begin working from the furthest corner, brushing along the length of the boards. Focus on 3-4 boards at a time to avoid overlap marks. For any small cracks, apply additional paint until they are filled. Two coats are necessary for optimal coverage, with a recommended drying time of 4 hours between coats. After 48 hours, your deck will be ready for furniture and regular use.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Once the painting is complete, ensure to clean your brush or pad by wiping off excess paint and washing in warm, soapy water. Proper disposal of any leftover paint is crucial; do not pour it down drains or into watercourses, as local authorities may provide guidelines for disposal.

Annually check your deck for signs of wear, and if necessary, apply another coat of Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Paint to maintain its durability and appearance. Enjoy your beautifully restored deck, confident in its protection against the elements and daily use.
