Hi all,
Can you help?
I have some decking which last year spent circa £100 on 4 tins of
ronseal decking stain. All looked nice, but loads of it has come off
through, wear and tear ( admitedly a lot due to building an
extension!). I wonder if there is anything better (and cheaper), that
will a) last longer and b) cover the old staining and where it has come
off?

thanks

Is Ronseal water based ? I've just treated a deck using Cuprinol deck
stain which comes in different colours and it seems to have done a
pretty good job and penetrated the wood well . It is solvent based but
is supposed to be hard wearing ...... Only problem is if not going
over similar product you would have to remove other stuff first .
I got away with just presure washing etc.
