I have fairly new decking to treat . Softwood ( pine ) only suppliers presevative & never had anything else on ... From what I've read deck oil is best but which one ? Apparently Cuprinol and Ronseal are crap Would welcome any advice from the experience of those on here .
Cheers
I'm currently using Liberon decking oil. It gives a nice finish, and seems to be fairly water-repelling. On the other hand, it is quite expensive, and
2 or 3 coats are required before the wood stops soaking it up. I've only been using it for 6 months, so I don't know what its long-term performance is like.
Stick with decking oil. Much easier to recoat in the future and retains a natural look.
Never found much difference TBH.
According to who?
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember snipped-for-privacy@nocrap.com saying something like:
Petrol, match.
I've used Ronseal decking oil and found it excellent.
