How to Prepare Your Decking

Proper preparation is essential for optimal results. Ensure your decking is clean and free from dirt, oil, grease, wax, and silicone. For different types of decking:

- Untreated, Weathered Decking: Use Ronseal Decking Restorer to revitalize the natural color of your wood. Follow the product guidelines carefully and allow the surface to dry completely before applying the stain.

- Previously Finished Decking: If your deck has been coated with paint or oil, use Ronseal Decking Stripper to remove these finishes before applying the stain. It’s important to strip it down to bare wood to ensure proper bonding.

- New Wood: New decking may come with a factory-applied waterproofing agent that needs to be removed. Clean your new deck with Ronseal Decking Cleaner & Reviver, thoroughly rinsing it afterward. Test the surface by sprinkling water on it; if the water beads, a second cleaning may be necessary.

Application Guidelines

For best results, apply Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Stain when temperatures are above 10°C and the deck is completely dry. Stir the stain prior to use and test a small, hidden area to verify you are satisfied with the color. Begin application in the furthest corner of the deck, working along the length of the boards and covering 3-4 boards at a time to avoid overlap marks. Two coats are recommended, with a 4-hour drying time between coats. After 24 hours, your deck will be ready for use.

Aftercare

To maintain the finish, sweep your decking regularly to remove debris and prevent dirt accumulation. If you spot any mould or algae, clean it to prevent further issues. Inspect the deck for signs of damage; light sanding and a thin coat of stain are all that's needed to refresh affected areas.

With Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Stain, you can relax knowing your deck is protected against the unpredictability of the British weather and everyday usage, from sunny gatherings to impromptu BBQs. Keep your outdoor space looking its best with this superior protective solution.
