Overview
Back
We're often asked how to apply decking oil and decking stain products. Although there are a number of applicators and brushes on the market, decking applicator pads are certainly a firm favourite as they work well on both smooth and grooved decking.
Woodleys Decking Applicator is compatible with a wide range of extendable handles due to its changeable fitting and tapered collar. We recommend the Woodleys Lightweight Extension Pole as our tried and tested favourite.
Inside the green tapered sleeve that attaches to the handle is a black plastic insert for accepting handles that have a screw type end. This is easily removed to accept poles of varying widths (maximum pole width 2.5cm or 1 inch).
Traditional wooden broom handle can be secured to the decking applicator with two screws through the guide holes on the applicator sleeve.
The Woodleys Decking Applicator also has a handy angle setting feature, which enables the angle of the applicator to be set to suit your requirements.
The included applicator pad measures approx 178mm x 80mm and can be easily removed for cleaning / replacement. Replacement Woodleys Decking Applicator Pads are available to buy separately.

Cleaning
The Woodleys Decking Applicator can be cleaned but the method is dependent on the type of product used. Most decking products are either water-based or solvent-based.
Water-based decking products can be cleaned off immediately after use using warm soapy water, then rinsed thoroughly. Solvent-based decking products can be cleaned off immediately after use with white spirit, taking care to ensure that none of the decking oil, white spirit or byproduct is released into drains or watercourses.

Great tool
This is a handy tool to apply the oil. You do need a screw fix handle to fix to. I just used my brush handle.

Poor quality
Because you have to apply a lot of pressure to get the oil to go in the grooves of the decking it kept slipping on the cogs designed to keep the decking pad at the required angle. Not really tough enough for the job.

Prefer a brush
Didn't do the job well at all. Ended up using a brush.

O dear
This really didn’t work for me, ended up using a soft long bristled paint brush (hard work and my bones are complaining) - the deck is an odd shape and a brush was easier to get into the acute angles.

Doesnt get into the groove of decking
Wastes a LOT of product AND need to finish with a brush

Replacement provided
The original decking applicator was damaged in transit. I emailed the company and without hesitation they replaced the item. Item received as expected but yet to use it. Would order from Wood Finishes Direct again

Ideal for the job
So much easier with this applicator and no sore knees either.

Decking Applicator pad
Easy to use did a good job
A G BARTON. , 7" (178mm) (20/10/23)
Did the job quickly (without the backache)
Swivel pad that will attach to both push fit and threaded poles. I used the screw-in adapter and towards the end of use it was starting to work loose (hence 4 stars). To be fair, my decking is large and I did two coats. On the plus side, the sponge seemed to apply oil into the decking grooves reasonably well and cleaned out well afterwards meaning it can be used again in future.

Fit for Purpose
Fit for purpose once you have a stave to put into it,
