Should I oil my fence and shed?
Yes - nourishing wood with oil refreshes natural oils that have been lost during exposure to the elements, and protects wood from within. Our traditional and next-generation oils provide excellent resistance to weather and fungal attacks that would otherwise rot wood, resulting in expensive repairs to fencing and sheds.
How often should you oil your fence?
Traditional wood oils, such as Danish Oil, require multiple coats to provide adequate protection to sheds and fences, and may require regular recoating through the year to maintain. Our next-generation wood oils from Rubio Monocoat and Osmo are one-coat products that last much longer and protect against UV light, water, dirt, and fungal attacks.
Can you use decking oil on a shed?
We recommend use of wood oils designed for vertical surfaces such as Osmo and Rubio Monocoat.
How do I stop my fence going GREY?
Wood will grey naturally over time when exposed to sunlight. Using wood oils on exterior wood surfaces, such as sheds and fences, will slow the effect and allow you to enjoy the natural beauty of wood for much longer. Osmo UV-Protection Oil, for example, maintains wood’s natural wetted colour, slowing the greying process by (UV factor) 12 times in comparison to untreated wood.
