Preparation

Decked areas to be treated should be clean, dry, and free from traces of dust, dirt, oil, grease, wax, and silicone.

New Decking Preparation

For all bare wood decking including tanalised, pressure treated and preservative impregnated decking timbers.

New softwood decking

  1. Treat with Clear Ronseal Total Wood Preservative (as this is wax-free) for the best protection. (The coloured versions contain wax which will cause adhesion problems)
  2. If possible, preserve all sides including end grain prior to installation
  3. Sweep the decking with a stiff broom to remove all traces of surface dirt and debris
  4. Use a suitable decking cleaner if required before oiling

New hardwood decking

Hardwood decking usually requires a period of weathering to allow the surface grain to open. This allows for better absorption of the decking oil. Check the decking manufacturer's guidance on how long decking should be left to weather before treating.

Old Decking Preparation

Old 'coating' type finishes such as decking paints, varnishes and varnish type stains must be fully removed back to bare wood before oiling. Depending on the condition and type of finish, it may require more than one attempt to fully remove the old coating.

  1. Ensure that all 'coating' type finishes have been fully removed to expose bare wood by either jet washing or using Ronseal Decking Stripper
  2. Clean old decking oil finishes thoroughly with
    Ronseal Decking Cleaner and Reviver or an alternative decking cleaner
  3. Then treat as 'New Decking' above

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Do not apply in damp conditions, when rain is likely, or in temperatures below 10°C.

  1. Shake the tin thoroughly before pouring the entire contents into a suitable metal or plastic container. If using more than one tin mix them together (Do not thin or dilute)
  2. Apply liberally to ensure that even penetration and complete coverage of the decking is achieved
  3. Treat 3-4 decking boards at a time to avoid overlap marks
  4. Redistribute any excess oil along the decking boards or wipe off with a clean cloth
  5. Allow 4 hours drying time between coats
  6. Apply an even second coat as above

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

To preserve the oiled finish for longer, we recommend that wooden decking is swept with a stiff broom on a regular basis to remove loose leaves, dirt, and other organic matter. This prevents a build up of organic matter that can settle on the deck and in the grooves, which can degrade and damage the finish and decking timbers over time.

Deep Cleaning

Scuff marks, stains, grease and other surface contaminates can be cleaned with a suitable decking cleaner prior to re-oiling.

Maintenance

Inspect the finish on an annual basis and apply a fresh coat of oil as and when required.

Repair

Stubborn marks and stains may require a light sanding before re-applying a thin coat of Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Oil to the affected area.

FAQ

What is best pretreatment before applying the Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Oil? A cleaner, or power washer and how powerful?

It would depend on the condition of the decking beforehand. Most commonly, on bare decking, if it shows signs of weathering or mould, we recommend using the Ronseal Decking Cleaner and Reviver and rinsing off after with a gentle wash. When the decking is dry, to ensure the longevity of the wood, you can then apply Ronseal Total Wood Preservative (wait 72 hours for the solvents to evaporate) before application of the decking oil.

Great price and service

I use a lot of decking oil so a few pounds difference makes a big impact on cost, some of the maintenance projects can use up to 60litres of oil!.

Very easy to apply to the decking using a good quality decking brush.

Have used this product for many years and have found that after giving the deck a annual thorough clean and applying 2 coats it gives an excellent finish.

Very good wood protector, looks great and highly water resistant.

Very good wood protector. I used it on new decking boards which had been in hot sun for weeks after fitting. The oil sinks in really quickly. Does need a second coat which is also quick. I used a cheap poly fibre brush and very happy with it. Very little rain since using, but the rain did pool on the surface and went when the sun came out.

Looks good.

Very easy to apply. Good coverage. I gave the decking two coats as recommended but only gave 4 stars as I am waiting to see what happens over the winter months.

Brilliant product, easy and durable. Very low VOC which is great too! :)

I've used this product twice on wooden outside decking over the years. It's really protected the wood well even in a Plymouth which is notoriously wet/damp. You get moss growing on your car, so I was worried the decking would not last, but it's been 8 years and this decking oil has meant that it's practically unweathered. :) Also, it's not strong smelling. I'm very allergic to most fumes from products, but this has a very low VOC. It's a good price for the quality of the oil. I did use a chenille flat mop along with a long oval plant pot base/tray as I find the decking mops that are meant to be for decking oil quite rubbish. But this worked a treat and meant I could easily do 3 planks of decking a time. Definitely recommend. Tom

WEet on easily and worked well

And even after one coat I could see it was working well as the water beaded on top. Used a roller to apply and that worked well. The natural gave te wood a slightly warmer look - very nice

Has done what I'd needed and expected - no more, no less.

Used on very old, wire brushed decking boards and has done a reasonable job. Coverage calculations were accurate and drying times for re-coating also as directed. I've now used this on new pre-treated decking boards (after drying them) for raised bed surrounds and, so far, also pleased with the results.

I have been using Ronseal Ultimate Decking oil for many years . The trick is in the preparation , all decking grooves must be meticulously cleaned , I use a high quality pressure washer. , when the decking is bone dry that is the time to apply the decking oil . The results are always outstanding .

Easy to apply, colour looks good, but most importantly repels water well and should prevent damp from setting in, rotting the decking and prolong it's life.
