Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best decking preservative?
The best decking preservative is a wooden preservative.
What is the difference between decking oil and stain?
Decking stains mean you can use your decking faster compared to decking oils. The main difference between stains and oils is that the stain provides a strong top layer that resists the elements, sunlight, and other forms of damage. This also includes erosion and foot traffic.
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.
