Frequently Asked Questions

How much decking oil do I need?
To work out how much decking oil you need, you need the length and width of the deck, the railing length and height, and the width and number of steps.
What is the best wood treatment for outdoors?
A wood preservative or decking oil is best for outdoor use as it protects against moisture, rot, and UV damage.
Do I need to treat timber regularly?
Yes, regular treatment helps maintain protection and extends the lifespan of timber.
