Looking for an alternative wood preservative for garden wood? Try one of the following products from the Cuprinol range:

Ensure that surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free from dirt, debris and other surface contaminates.

Bare or New Timber

1. If necessary, brush surfaces with a stiff brush or broom before treating to remove any loose surface matter
2. Areas affected by mould, algae or fungi should first be treated with a suitable garden cleaner prior to application
3. All rotten timber must be cut out and replaced
4. 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

Previously Coated Timber

Existing surface coatings such as paint or varnish must be fully removed back to bare wood before using Cuprinol Wood Preserver by sanding or using a suitable wood stripper.

Always do a test area before beginning any project to check suitability and compatibility. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Do not apply if rain is likely before the product has fully dried. Stir contents of tin thoroughly before and during application to ensure a consistent finish.

1. For best results, apply Cuprinol Wood Preservative with a suitable brush
2. Apply a minimum of two even brush coats to give a uniform finish
3. Apply evenly along the wood grain, avoiding splashing onto surrounding plants, brickwork, glass, PVC etc
4. Any splashing should be cleaned up immediately (whilst still wet) with water and household detergent
5. Excessive spillage on plants should be rinsed off immediately before drying
6. Allow the previous coat to soak in before applying the next
7. The preserver usually dries in 2-6 hours under normal weather conditions
8. Where a strong colour change is desired, more coats may be required
9. Recoat within 2-3 days of previous coat. If a longer period elapses, do a test area to ensure product is not repelled

Please Note: If using more than one can it is advisable to mix them together (after stirring thoroughly) and pouring into a larger container or finish painting in a corner before starting a new can.

Regular Cleaning

Surfaces treated with Cuprinol Ultimate Garden Wood Preserver can be cleaned at regular intervals with a dampened, lint-free cloth or Cuprinol Garden Furniture Cleaner.

Maintenance

We would not recommend using this product in this type of environment as Cuprinol do not specify its safety. We would instead recommend using Barrettine Premier Universal Preserver as this is completely safe for plants and animals once it is dry.
