In part three, the final part of our decking guide, we look at how to apply decking oils as well as giving more top tips about how to protect decking so it looks fantastic for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>The application techniques we&#8217;re going to discuss cover oil-based decking finishes as in our opinion these are much easier to maintain and patch repair. As such <strong><em>this decking maintenance advice is suitable for:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>new wood<\/li>\n<li>preserved new wood<\/li>\n<li>wood which only has oil on it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once your decking is clean, dust-free and physically sound, with any damage mended, you can apply a \n<a title=\"Garden Decking Oil\" href=\"\/product-type\/oils\/project\/decking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\nclear or coloured decking oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Oils are easy to apply with no special skill required. It&#8217;s simply a case of making sure the oil is &#8216;pushed&#8217; into the wood rather than leaving it on the surface.<\/p>\n<p>If your decking is smooth, a long-handled microfibre roller is ideal as it works really well with decking oils. If your decking is grooved, you can attach a \n<a title=\"Osmo Floor Brush\" href=\"\/product\/floor-brush-head\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\nfloor brush head<\/a>\u00a0to a wooden handle &#8211; the firm texture will help you push the oil into the wood much more effectively.<\/p>\n<h3>How many coats of decking oil do I need?<\/h3>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s the oil content that protects decking against water, sun damage and more, you need to get as much of the product into the wood as possible. It&#8217;s important to apply the oil in thin coats because thicker coats can&#8217;t penetrate the wood as\u00a0easily and take ages to dry. It&#8217;s much quicker and more effective to apply three thin coats than two thick ones.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no need to use a lot of elbow grease. Just move the oil around the wood and apply a little pressure until it has virtually all sunken into the grain. A well applied coat of oil will comfortably dry in a day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there any exceptions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes &#8211; if the wood is already naturally oily such as Teak, Ipe or other exotic hardwood. In which case it might not take in any more oil or might just accept one thin coat. If your wood is already saturated with oil you&#8217;ll know because you won&#8217;t be able to get it to absorb any more. In which case you can simply wipe the excess off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happens if I use too much deck oil?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes people apply as much oil as they can in the hope that the more they get on the wood the better. All this does, though, is leave deposits of oil on the surface that can take a very long time to dry, often more than forty eight hours. In the worst cases the oil can\u2019t evaporate or sink into the wood and it forms a skin on the surface which can ultimately peel off.<\/p>\n<h3>Top tips for decking maintenance with oils<\/h3>\n<p>We highly recommend a quality deck oil like \n<a title=\"Barrettine Decking Stain\" href=\"\/product\/barrettine-decking-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\nBarrettine Decking Oil<\/a>, also known as <em>The Complete Decking Treatment<\/em>.\u00a0 It contains rich resins and waxes and we invariably get excellent feedback about it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get an idea of how much oil is still in your decking first &#8211; if you can&#8217;t tell, test a small area with a thin coat of decking oil. If it doesn&#8217;t sink in, your wood probably isn&#8217;t ready for extra oil yet<\/li>\n<li>Try to avoid sealer-type decking finishes. In our opinion, they&#8217;re not as good as decking oils<\/li>\n<li>Always apply the oil thinly<\/li>\n<li>Bear in mind that thin coats enhance the grain structure best<\/li>\n<li>As a general rule the darker a finish, the better the UV protection<\/li>\n<li>Sweep decking regularly &#8211; keeping it clean means it stays in better condition for longer<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Attend to any visible problems like greying, blackening and dryness promptly and they&#8217;ll cause less damage\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How often do I need to oil my decking?<\/h3>\n<p>You can play it by ear. Less oily woods tend to need more frequent treatment than oilier woods. Keep a supply of your favourite decking oil handy and test a small patch somewhere unobtrusive every spring. If the oil refuses to sink in or takes ages to dry, you can leave it until it gets &#8216;hungry&#8217; for more oil. If so, test it again at the end of the summer, just in case it needs to be fed more oil to protect it over the winter.<\/p>\n<h3>Colouring your decking<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Black finishes on decking are becoming increasingly popular. It&#8217;s no surprise when the deep, rich colour complements the vivid greens of plants so beautifully. How do you dye your decking black? The easiest way to achieve the look is a black timber stain. The same goes for other colours. Osmo, for example, feature \n<a title=\"Osmo Polyx Oil Tints\" href=\"\/product\/osmo-colour-foundation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\na vast range of lovely wood colours in oil tint form<\/a>, from cool, subtle amber to rich gold, bright silver and dramatic white.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve achieved the colour you want, whether it&#8217;s black or something else altogether, simply apply two to three coats of good quality \n<a title=\"Osmo Decking Oil\" href=\"\/product\/osmo-decking-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\nclear decking oil on top<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I buy non-slip decking oil?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes. If you&#8217;re concerned about slipping over, \n<a title=\"Osmo Anti Slip Decking Oil\" href=\"\/product\/osmo-anti-slip-decking-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\nOsmo decking oil comes in a special anti-slip variant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s next? Simply enjoy your garden decking!<\/h3>\n<p>When your decking has been cleaned, treated and restored, it&#8217;ll look beautiful, a real asset to your garden. Now all you need to do is magic up some sunshine, add friends or family, good company, food and drinks and you&#8217;re off.
