the decking oil I'm using today is Ronseal ultimate protection decking oil I find this
product to be really good applies really well and gives a long-lasting finish you can see the tools
I'm using the Ronseal oil five litres a bucket a Ronseal applicator and a stiff broom to clean the
deck all the products I'm using are linked in the description if you want to go and take a look and
maybe do a project like this yourself the decking oil is in the natural colour and the applicator
pad makes absolute light work of applying the oil onto the deck it's an absolute must-have
the area all clear we're ready to go this decks actually in pretty good shape because it's only
about a year or two old over the summer heat and the winter the boards have just started to fade
slightly and I want to apply some of the oils back into the wood the label shows us three different
applications for this oil on grey untreated and weathered decks there will look much better on
a nice and clean deck so maybe use a decking restorer to take it back to its natural colour
on previously painted decks if the deck is flaking and peeling use a decking stripper to get it back
to bare wood it's not as hard as you might think and it's definitely worth it if it's in just good
condition like this one is and just a bit dirty you can brush it off and make sure the area is
clean and ready to accept the oil I need to make sure the oil is thoroughly mixed and applied two
coats leaving four hours between each coat it's also recommended to start in the farthest corner
and work away from the back of the death which I didn't do on my first coat but after finding
this out it's much more easy to apply that's the first coat down and the deck is already starting
to look much much better there's a real healthy colour coming back to it and you can see in the
previous photo it doesn't look washed out the next step is to wait four hours and then apply a
second coat for me this is going to be tomorrow it's getting a bit too hot and I need a break
overall I'm absolutely made up with the results the deck looks really really good you can just
tell the difference when I've got some of the old furniture that was stained in this
in the original colours down the difference is night and day if you found any of this content
