Preparation

Always ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry and free from any dust, algae, fungi or moss.

  • To clean decking give it a good brush with a stiff broom to remove any dirt, debris or loose wood.
  • Check the surface of the decking for loose screws or boards and ensure these are tightened.
  • If the decking has been previously stained, painted or varnished, we would recommend to strip it back to the bare wood. For previously stained decking you can use Ronseal Garden Decking Stripper.
  • If your decking has been effected by algae, fungi or mould it can be cleaned with Ronseal Decking Cleaner and Reviver.
  • Note: Most new decks come with a bit of waterproofing protection. This could stop the stain from sticking. To avoid this, give your new deck a good scrub with our Ronseal Decking Cleaner and Reviver. Alternatively, leave it to weather for six months.

Application

We recommend you stir the product and test a small are to ensure you are happy with adhesion and colour.

  • Apply in temperatures above 10°C and when bad weather is not forecast.
  • Thoroughly mix the stain.
  • Using a brush start from one corner and start to brush along the length of the boards.
  • Working on 3-4 boards at a time to avoid overlap marks.
  • Leave 4 hours, then apply a second coat.
  • Allow to dry for 24 hours before use.
  • For strong colours more coats may be needed.
  • If using more than one tin it’s advisable to mix together in a large container or finish in a corner before starting a new can to ensure consistency in colour.

Note: Always follow the manufacturer instructions found on the tin.

Aftercare & Storage

Sweep your decking with a stiff broom to help your stain looking it’s best for longer. Use a broom to remove debris, leaves and dirt that can work its way into the grooves of your decking. If you notice mould or algae, clean it to prevent it getting worse.


Repair

You should regularly inspect your decking for signs of dirt or damage. If you notice a spot that’s not quite up to standard, all you need to do is lightly sand it and reapply a thin coat of the stain to the problem area.

FAQs

Q. Do you need to prime before using Ronseal Ultimate Decking Stain?

A. There is no need to prime this product as stains need to penetrate through the wood. However, if applying to weathered wood we would advise to ensure the surface is clean by using Ronseal Decking Cleaner & Reviver first.

Q. Can Ronseal Ultimate Decking Stain be used on composite decking?

A. Unfortunately not, this is specially formulated for wood decking. Composite decking is a type of plastic material, it would not adhere to the surface.

Q. Can I use Ronseal Ultimate Decking Stain on previously painted or stained decking?

A. If the decking has been previously stained, painted or varnished, we would recommend to strip it back to the bare wood. For previously stained decking you can use Ronseal Garden Decking Stripper.

Q. Can Ronseal Ultimate Decking Stain be applied with a sprayer?

A. For decking, it would be advised to use a brush or the Ronseal Applicator Pad to apply the stain. It is not advised to spray.
