Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key: Before application, ensure the deck is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, algae, and loose paint or stain. For best results, use a dedicated deck cleaner and allow the wood to dry completely for at least 24-48 hours. Lightly sand any rough patches.
Application: Apply the stain evenly using a brush or roller, working in the direction of the wood grain. Avoid applying in direct, hot sunlight or when rain is expected. Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal protection and colour.
Compatibility: This product is suitable for most types of softwood decking. It is not recommended for use on hardwood decking unless specifically advised by the manufacturer. Ensure any existing treatments are fully removed or compatible before application.
Care: Clean the deck periodically with water and a mild detergent. Remove any accumulated leaves or debris promptly. Reapply the stain as needed, typically every few years, following the preparation and application guidelines.
