1. What’s the difference between decking oil and wood stain?

Decking oil penetrates the wood and provides long-term protection against water and UV. Wood stain sits on the surface and primarily adds colour.

2. How often should decking oil be reapplied?

Reapply every 12–18 months, or sooner in high-traffic areas or exposed conditions. Follow the product’s guidance for specific intervals.

3. Can I use clear decking oil on pre-coloured wood?

Yes, but results may vary. Test a small area first, as clear oil can darken or slightly alter the tone of existing finishes.
