Ronseal or Cuprinol

[kracker]

I'm looking to preserve my drecking /pergola i was in the market for decking oil when my neighbour gave me a 5 litre tin of ronseal decking protector i understand it is different from the oil so can someone recommend a brand and will i use the oil or protector

[Dim]

dont!

paint your decking and you will have to do it every year ....

rather paint with yacht varnish, but get a good one

[kevineden]

just a ronseal decking protector i use if you a colour, in winter it just peels off

[Panama Pete]

Always use clear or natural.

[Dave Brown]

It is personal choice but if you use a colour then it is difficult to go back to natural at some point in the future.

[Tom2006]

Definitely dont paint. Worst thing I did with mine. Replacing all mine next spring and will oil it.

Le Tonkinois yacht varnish is what I would use .... amazing stuff and non slip (search google)

I will be varnishing my hifi speaker cabinets with this ...(old B&W DM2 transmission speakers)

Seems that screwfix own brand no nonsense decking oil wins for me got some great reviews and works out £10 cheaper than the branded ones

year 1 I used "Ronseal decking finish" the first year, after winter it was a mess

year 2 I used Cuprinol Ultimate, and looked the best coming out of winter...

year 3 went back to ronseal and it already is wearing away, chair feet scuffed it easy etc

So Cuprinol ultimate wins the off the DIY shed shelf roundup, but next year i'm going try try
