I work for ronseal, I make the products but have worked within the r and d and qa departments You'd be amazed at how many complaints we get by people who haven't followed the instructions on the tin and them complain about the product You gotta do what it says on the tin for it to 'do exactly what it says on the tin' Prep is everything 👌🏻
Bought this pole aplicator but its so flimsy snapped straight away.... think would be better using a mop wood stick and just screw a cheap sponge to it with a washer 👍
so the "applicator pad" is simply a sponge on a pole. An old floor squeegee springs to mind if you have one (just fit a new sponge to it if necessary) real question is do you have any experience of the "decking stripper" as I have very large deck (50m2) that is 2 years old with mostly intact paint but a few small areas where is is either a patchy finish or just starting to flake. I am wondering what to do? sand entire area to remove paint and start again with an oil, or try and touch up the bad points and therefore probably create even more patchiness.
You dripped the oul on the deck when you started. Ive used this product a lot and that will show cause you cant even it out plus you were standing on parts youd just oiled. Wouldnt want to see that close up.
I found even with my deck that has deep grooves if I applied pressure down to the pad it would mostly move the oil. There were spots it didn't and they dried fine. Overall it worked great and I didn't use anything other than the pad 👍
Great video GLG. Do you know the coverage a 5litre tin covers in metres square. And once applied and cured does it reduce the slip factor from decking? Thanks again.
Um not an expert but I would say so, the colour will probably be slightly different as the colour will come through but id make sure its clean then I normally do layer oils anyway. It Won't layer on paints etc
Garden Lawncare Guy my deck is already treated using this product, however as it’s in a part shady spot it’s discolouring and needs refinishing. My question, can. Reapply a darker decking oil over my existing finish? Or would I need to strip the existing finish first?
@@christophephilippe1481 it depends what's important to you, if you want a perfect colour match then strip as it will probably come out slightly different. I would say a clean smooth surface is the most important thing, personally I wouldn't strip back. If really concerned do a test spot.
I would prefer using a 4" decking brush and going between the joints, as you can see in your video not all of the decking was covered which can in my case reduces the life span. #Tips
How is the product holding up now ? I am considering using this, but have concerns about longevity. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
I treat once a year and it looks great, i found it wore abit in year 1 but that could have been the new wood then in year 2 and 3 barely needed doing atall
@@markgorman772 mine has started peeling after barely a year (see above) very disappointed after spending a LOT of money on a new big replacement deck, and buying a LOT of Ronseal Ultimate decking oil!
Hi, I don’t have an applicator brush, would a paint brush do the job ? I know it would take much longer but seen as we’re on lockdown I have the time :)
@@gemmastrafford3017 I used a paint brush and worked fine although I've also see people use a sweeping brush the type youd use in your kitchen that way you wont damage your knees or back
Hi i treated mine right away, there is different advice on this but as soon as I'd finished laying I cleaned them down and treated when dry. Do it annually and they look as good as new today 3 years on
@@GardenLawncareGuy Hi...Just laid ours yesterday too - yeah some say leave a few months , So it would be ok to Oil as soon as they have been laid yeah? Thanks

Hi, What paint did you use on your fence? I love the natural oak look. Thanks
Hi the fence is this one Autumn gold amzn.to/3o2yrru

Hi yes that's what the pad is and it really works! No used the stripper sorry before

Thanks so much. Can I have the song also?. It’s super cool.
Hi we just got our decking delivered it has already been theater by the company we bought it from will it be ok do do the surface with this please ?
Should you power wash the decking beforehand?
Having a clean surface is key for the oil or any paint work really yeah
Does the applicator get the oil into the grooves ? Great video, great music. 👍
I found even with my deck that has deep grooves if I applied pressure down to the pad it would mostly move the oil. There were spots it didn't and they dried fine. Overall it worked great and I didn't use anything other than the pad 👍
Love the tutorial but why the loud annoying music
Came from your amazon review 😬.... good video, will defo buy some of this 👌
Good luck with your project 👍
can you provide a tool for the links pls. Thanks
How is it in rain? Is it anti slip?
Great video GLG. Do you know the coverage a 5litre tin covers in metres square. And once applied and cured does it reduce the slip factor from decking? Thanks again.
It depends abit on the board you have and if there is already oil down (e.g. how much is absorbed) but I think 5l is enough for me on 4.6x3 deck
Hi, do you have a link to purchase the long handle applicator brush you used? Thanks
What colour is your fence please?
Did you use the same product on the posts/fence ?
Hi Mike, no that was a sprayable cuprinol
Can u use Ultimate Decking oil on the old Formula? I have an old deck which I've always used the original Rosseal Decking old Natural Pine?
Um not an expert but I would say so, the colour will probably be slightly different as the colour will come through but id make sure its clean then I normally do layer oils anyway. It Won't layer on paints etc
Do you do the sides at all? I have stones around my decking and I didn't know if I should oil the sides and bannister.
Yeah I do, i keep it all done
@@GardenLawncareGuy thanks mate.
That was a big pallet the ronseal got delivered on
On a slightly related note, are those Dunelm loungers? Was curious about getting some for my deck this summer
I got them from Blue diamond group I think 👍
Results look great - if you have any questions or your own tips i would be interested to hear them in comments below

Do you find that using the pad gets it into the grooves as well?
i found the oil found its way into the groove overall so i had a good coverage

How's it holding up after all this time?
Nornally do it every year from habit but looking good, one bit where the rain pools is peeling rest is great
Why do people in uk install their decking upside down?
I think because somebody over in the uk said it was for non slip, and word got around. He’s been having a laugh ever since
How does it work on IPE hardwood ?
No , I have an Ipe deck ....had a run in with Ronseal after they said it would work .....it doesn’t !!!
Hi, I don’t have an applicator brush, would a paint brush do the job ? I know it would take much longer but seen as we’re on lockdown I have the time :)
Hi, a brush will work absolutely fine just a little slower and not as easy posture wise, but go for it!
Garden Lawncare Guy it worked great, thank you, although I’m suffering for it today ! :)

Just got decking boards for first time, do u need to stain them straight away or do u leave them for few months ?
Hi i treated mine right away, there is different advice on this but as soon as I'd finished laying I cleaned them down and treated when dry. Do it annually and they look as good as new today 3 years on
@@GardenLawncareGuy Hi...Just laid ours yesterday too - yeah some say leave a few months , So it would be ok to Oil as soon as they have been laid yeah? Thanks
I did and mine were fine, plus good opportunity to do it before other stuff goes on in my opinion
Warning , Ronseal Ultimate decking oil does not work on some exotic hardwoods !!
You painted yourself into a corner? 🤣🤣🤣
