Choosing a product for SHEDS & FENCES

SHEDS & FENCES

4

Sheds and fences are continually exposed to the elements and so are prone to weathering, which makes the wood go grey and lose its original colour. A couple of coats of a shed and fence treatment will not only colour the wood but also protect it against the damaging effects of the weather. For ultimate, long-lasting protection, choose a product that actively prevents rot and decay. So how do you know which one to choose? Before choosing, the three key things youll need to consider are: Do you want to apply the product by spray?

Or do you prefer to use a brush?

Do you want a product that preserves wood by actively preventing rot and decay?

Choosing a product for DECKING

Decking is a stylish and popular alternative to patios but to keep your deck looking its best, it must be protected from the weather as well as the effects of foot traffic. There are a vast array of decking care products and application methods available to help you take care of your decking so its important to ensure you choose the right product to give you the end result you want. Before choosing, the three key things youll need to consider are:

Is your deck old, weathered or new?

Do you want a natural looking finish or a richer colour finish?

Whats your preferred application method: brush, spray or pad?

CLEANING & RESTORING DECKS

Decking is exposed to rain and bad weather and so can quickly develop a build-up of green algae, which is not only unsightly, but can be slippery too. Before treating your deck, make sure you clean it properly to provide a sound surface for the product. If you intend to apply decking oil, restoring your deck before applying the product will give you a better colour result.

GARDEN FURNITURE

Choosing a product for GARDEN FURNITURE

Whether youve invested a lot or paid relatively little for your garden furniture, it needs to be regularly protected in order to make it last and keep it looking its best. Before choosing a product, its important to understand whether your furniture is hardwood or softwood, as both have different needs. If your wood is weathered, a bit of time invested in restoring the wood before you treat it will ensure you get the best results. So, before choosing a product, here are the three key things to consider to ensure you select the right one:

Is your furniture hardwood or softwood?

If it is old and weathered, do you want to restore it first?

Do you want a natural-looking oil or a more opaque finish?

WHAT TYPE?
Its important to know what type of wood your garden furniture is made from so that you can select the best product for the job.

Hardwood Garden Furniture

Hardwood garden furniture is most commonly made from hardwood types such as teak, meranti or iroko, characterised by the dense nature of their wood which gives it some natural weather resistance. However, it still needs regular care and treatment in order to maintain waterrepellency and prevent the wood losing its colour.

Softwood Garden Furniture

Softwood garden furniture is usually made from pine. Unlike hardwoods, softwood has a poor natural weather resistance so its vital that softwood is thoroughly protected against rot, decay and moisture damage.

CLEANING & RESTORING

GARDEN FURNITURE

Untreated furniture will soon show the damaging effects of the weather with the wood going grey and suffering from algae and mould growth. Cuprinol Garden Furniture Restorer brings greying wood back to life quickly and easily whilst the Cuprinol Garden Furniture Cleaner & Wipes help with the ongoing maintenance of your garden furniture.

A GLOSSARY OF USEFUL TERMS

ADDED WAXES Substances added to the product to provide water shedding properties. They help to limit water ingress into the wood and so help to protect it from water damage. BARE WOOD Wood in its natural state and has no surface finish such as paint, varnish or stain. DEEP PENETRATING Normally refers to a system designed to carry active ingredients into the wood (wood preserver) to lengthen protection from insects and rot. Deep penetrating is also used in relation to natural oils which provide longer-lasting nourishment to the wood or when referring to waxes that help maintain water repellency longer. GARDEN WOOD CLEANER Removes dirt, slimy growth such as algae, moulds and fungi from exterior wood. Many cleaners contain active ingredients that kill fungi and algae, helping to minimise re-growth. It is advisable to use wood cleaners prior to (re)decoration. HARDWOOD Hardwood is derived from trees that predominate in tropical climates. Such trees are slower growing than conifers, giving wood that is denser and more resistant to splitting and cracking. Many species are naturally durable (resistant to rot and insect attack). European examples are oak, walnut, ash, beech and chestnut while tropical examples are mahogany, teak, iroko and meranti. OIL Oil products in garden woodcare are formulated using oils from natural and sustainable materials such as linseed, wood oil, etc. They tend to be used on hardwood garden furniture or decking to provide a matt, enhancing and natural finish. Oils penetrate into the wood to nourish it and replace the natural oils lost through weathering. As they dont form a film on top of the wood they tend to look more natural than stains. PRESERVER Preservers contain active ingredients that protect the wood from either insect attack, fungal attack (rot) or both. They often come in colours, which makes them a superior alternative to stains due to their additional protective properties. Preserving products may not always be called preservers, so check that the product prevents rot & decay to be sure youre buying one. PRE-TREATED WOOD Usually refers to wood that has been treated with a preserver. Wood can be treated by brushing with a wood preservative or can be bought pre-treated such as most timbers sold for decking. RESTORER A product formulated to remove the grey appearance of weathered wood. It brings back the natural colour of wood and prepares it for decoration and protection via oiling or staining. Restorers will only work on wood that hasnt been previously stained or painted but it can be used for previously oiled wood. ROUGH SAWN WOOD Rough sawn wood is left as it is after the wood trunk has been sawn into planks. It tends to be used for fencing and sheds. All Cuprinol shed and fence products have been specifically formulated for use on rough-sawn garden timbers. SMOOTH PLANED WOOD Smooth planed wood is planed after the trunk of the tree has been sawn into planks. It is usually used for joinery and furniture but also summerhouses, gazebos and higher quality sheds and fences. SOFTWOOD Softwood is derived from evergreen, relatively fast growing conifers predominating in cooler climates. Softwoods form the main building timbers in Europe, North America and New Zealand. Generally, softwoods are light weight and more prone to cracking, splitting and attack by wood boring insects and wood rotting fungi than hardwoods. Examples are pine, spruce, hemlock, western red cedar and douglas fir. STAIN Stains usually give a rich colour finish to wood that allows the grain and texture of the wood to come through. They protect it against the weather whilst still allowing the wood to breathe, which is important as it ensures that any moisture that enters the wood can escape and doesnt damage the wood from the inside.
