jm79 Â Â 10 #1 Posted July 27, 2012 Im wanting to re-stain my decking (about 10 sq metres all together) but hoping to do it on a budget as im selling my house (but still want it to look good and last well). Ive used Ronseal in the past but it peeled off after a few months, possibly because I didnt apply it very well?? (I used a spray that I poured the decking stain into). Â Ive seen that Wickes' decking stain has got good reviews so im tempted to try that this time, unless anyone else has any good recommendations. Im also going to use a decking cleaner before application this time. Â Also, what is the best way to apply decking stain (again, with a small budget in mind for the applicator). Ive seen sprays, pads, brushes, etc. Â Any advice appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lockstockfro   10 #2 Posted July 27, 2012 I have just restained a similar size deck with the Wickes stuff (for exactly the same reason, selling the house and didn't want to spend a fortune) and it looks great. Colour is good and it was easy to apply with a brush, I wouldn't personally bother with pads/sprays etc. Cannot comment on how long it will last but fingers crossed.  I did have to return the first tub I bought because it was some strange grey colour but the second one was fine.  Hope yours comes up a treat like mine did.  Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
