mrpip Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Folks I have a sliding gate made from tanalised pine, plained tounge & grove timber set in a metal frame, as yet its not been treated & I don't fancy using a varnish type stain. What's your opinions, experiences on using decking oil. pips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiffy Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) i use cuprinol decking oil on my decking, a standing gate may be different to a deck thats laying flat so more susceptible to the elements but i find i have to oil my decking twice a year to keep it in nice condition, i did it once last year around this time its now looking pretty rough. i have also found as i use a stained oil that even after a few months the fresh coat just makes it darker and darker each time personally i would use one of the curpoinol shades paints over oil or the cheap fence ones ive had wooden things in my garden painted for dokinies years and their still looking pretty damn good Edited May 28, 2015 by kiffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 OSMO Polyoxoyl? Have only used it indoors so you would have to check it is suitable for outdoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_seagrave Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I went into B&Q the other day and a guy came up to me and asked if I wanted decking. Fortunately I got my punch in first. LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS That's about all any of the B&Q muppets are fit for. Awful shop, even with wrinkly's 10% off on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keg Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I went to the Grand national a couple of years ago, many of the ladies looked as if they had run out of fake tan and used Fence Paint. Autumn gold seemed the most popular choice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
