Ronseal Fence Life Plus - Tudor Black Oak - 5L

A 5-litre tin typically covers up to 30 m² on average, as the product has a coverage rate of 6 m² per litre.

No, this product is specifically formulated for sheds and fences. For decking or garden furniture, you should use products designed for those specific applications to ensure appropriate durability and protection.

You don't always need to sand, but the surface must be clean, dry, and free from any loose material. If the wood is very smooth, a light sanding can help with adhesion. Remove any dirt, mould, or algae thoroughly.

For best results in terms of colour depth and protection, two coats are generally recommended, especially on new or highly absorbent wood. Ensure the first coat is dry (1 hour) before applying the second.

Info needed: The product description does not specify the exact longevity of the treatment. However, Ronseal Fence Life Plus products are known for their long-lasting protection, often lasting several years before reapplication is needed.

The product description specifically states application 'using a brush'. While some Fence Life products are sprayable, this particular variant's description only mentions brush application. For best results and adherence to product guidelines, a brush is recommended.

Ensure the product is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply with a good quality brush, working in even strokes along the wood grain. Avoid over-applying in one area or letting the brush run dry.

Drying time can be affected by temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Ensure application is done in mild, dry conditions. Apply thin, even coats rather than thick ones. Allow for good airflow around the treated wood.

Make sure you are applying a sufficient amount per square meter (approx. 6 m² per litre). On highly absorbent or very light-colored wood, a second coat will significantly improve opacity and color depth. Ensure thorough stirring.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the wood surface is completely clean, dry, and free of loose dirt, old paint, or stain before application. Any mould or algae should be cleaned off with a suitable timber cleaner.
