Cuprinol Shed and Fence Protector - Safety Information

Overview

Cuprinol Shed and Fence Protector is a deep penetrating, solvent-based protective wood treatment for garden sheds and fences and other exterior wood. It actively protects against the damaging effects of weathering, including sun and rain damage.

Looking for a water-based, coloured finish for exterior wood? Try Cuprinol One Coat Sprayable Fence Treatment or Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback

Preparation

Ensure that the wood to be treated is clean, dry and free from surface dirt, loose debris and any other contaminants.

Bare and New Timber

Brush the surface of the wood with a stiff brush or broom to remove any ingrained dirt and debris from the wood
Organic matter including mould, mildew, algae or fungi must be removed with a suitable wood cleaner
All rotten timber must be cut out and replaced, at least 25mm in to good wood to ensure that all of the rot has been fully removed
If the wood surface is looking worn or has greyed from sun damage and the effects of weathering, a suitable wood reviver or restorer should be used to revive the wood
Any holes, gaps or splits in the surface of the wood can be filled with Cuprinol All Purpose Wood Filler or Cuprinol Ultra Tough Wood Filler
Pre-treat the wood with Cuprinol Wood Preserver Clear (BP) to add additional protection against mould, algae, fungi and insect attack if required

Previously Coated Timber

Existing surface coatings such as paint or varnish must be fully removed back to bare wood prior to applying Shed & Fence Protector, either by sanding or using a suitable wood stripper.

Application

Always do a small test area before starting any project to assess the colour and compatibility of the finish. Follow the manufacturers instructions on the tin at all times. Shake the contents of the tin well before and periodically during use to ensure a uniform colour.

Apply 2-3 uniform coats of Cuprinol Shed & Fence Protector with a Cuprinol Woodcare Brush in the direction of the wood grain
Allow 48 hours drying time between coats

Aftercare

Maintenance

Cuprinol Shed and Fence Protector can be easily maintained as and when required by applying a fresh coat, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.

Deeply penetrating and long lasting by Dr Derek Cooper

Not water based which enables deep penetration of wood. End colour may vary considerably depending on state of wood and previous coatings. Long lasting but maybe not very decorative (no pretty colours). I have fences that are over 20 years old and how no sign of rot due, I think, to this product.

Goes on easily, excellent protection by Ray Rampton

Always use this as it goes on easily, soaks in well and protects for a couple of years before re-applying. Because it soaks into the wood it never leaves a top-coat to flake off.

Quality product as described by Mr J Attawell

Product used many times before therefore no surprise results all good after applying the wood treatment. IMO best wood treatment available.

Great product Soaks in well by Mac

Personally I hate the paint stuff. That just flakes off with time. This is more expensive but soaks into the wood and after a few years you can do it again if you need to. Great stuff. I’d definitely buy again. In fact I have!

Seems to work well by Dennis H

This product is easy to apply, and should work well. I was a little concerned that it seemed a bit thinner than previous products, hence 4 stars, but time will tell

Very good wood protection by Glyn Bray

Easy to apply though can splatter, therefore protect things around the area you apply this stuff.

USED FOR YEARS by MR IAIN WARNER

Have found this product to be an excellent wood colour and preservative and have been using it for many years on sheds and fences . If used every few years it will go along way but will soak in on old dry timber. An easy product to use.

Great product by David Carroll

We bought a new wooden workshop last year to replace our old summerhouse, very shocked at how much quality has gone up! So we needed a good preservative to keep it good. What I have become disenchanted with is the type of wood finish that leaves a film over the timber that peals off after a year but hides the grain of the wood at the same time. Spirit based finishes don’t do that, showing the wood grain through and soaking deep to seal. That’s the theory, It went on easy, and to press I have no reason to doubt it will perform. Only time will tell and it’s still the summer of the year of application. Bottom line is. Recommend based on two to three months weathering. Dave
