Its results, however, are extremely long-lasting, and it is easy to use via brush or spray.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<h4>Pros:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Long-lasting<\/li>\n<li>Waterproof silicone-based emulsion<\/li>\n<li>Reduces mould and algae growth<\/li>\n<li>Protection from warping<\/li>\n<li>Easy spray or brush application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<h4>Cons:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Can cause allergic reactions<\/li>\n<li>Full water repellency takes up to one month<\/li>\n<li>12-month expiry date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B01CSIAVEG\" data-aawp-product-id=\"24784\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"housejunkie00-21\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Roxil Wood Waterproofing Liquid  5L Clear  Wood Preserver Outdoor Wood Sealer for decking Fence Sheds and Furniture\" class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--orange rounded shadow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B01CSIAVEG?tag=housejunkie00-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Check Price (Amazon)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Price (Amazon)<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Osmo-4006-Wood-Protector-Clear-Treatment\/dp\/B002X36UF6?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ6FKKYSQUCVTNXUA&amp;tag=housejunkie00-21&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B002X36UF6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">2.

This makes it ideal for use in winter if you haven\u2019t already treated your shed or fence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<h4>Pros:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Quick-drying<\/li>\n<li>Low odour<\/li>\n<li>Deep penetration formula<\/li>\n<li>Can be applied to damp wood<\/li>\n<li>Even, fade-resistant finish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<h4>Cons:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Not leak-proof<\/li>\n<li>Difficult to open<\/li>\n<li>Base treatment only for exterior use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B00132D9W0\" data-aawp-product-id=\"24992\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"housejunkie00-21\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Everbuild Wood Preserver \u2013 Interior And Exterior Use \u2013 Low Odour \u2013 Quick Drying \u2013 Long Lasting Protection \u2013 Clear \u2013 5 Litres\" class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--orange rounded shadow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00132D9W0?tag=housejunkie00-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Check Price (Amazon)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Price (Amazon)<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Cuprinol-5L-Wood-Preserver-Clear\/dp\/B001GU4B1C?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ6FKKYSQUCVTNXUA&amp;tag=housejunkie00-21&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B001GU4B1C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">4.

In some cases, if you need to treat for wood rot and against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/srep40316\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wood-boring insects<\/a>, you may find that you will be better off treating your wood with a preserver. That is specially designed to do so before using a second product to add a water repellent, anti-fade top layer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Wood preservers with leak-proof properties cause water to bead up on the wood\u2019s surface. These prevent the water from seeping into the wood, preventing warping and rotting. If you are planning on using a second water-based product to overcoat your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housejunkie.co.uk\/garden-sheds\/\">garden shed<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housejunkie.co.uk\/bird-tables\/\">bird table<\/a> or fence, make sure that you pick a base coat preserver that does not contain oil, silicone, or wax.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you are looking for a rapid and effective way to protect your garden furniture, shed, or fence, then look for an all-in-one system that will protect your wood from moisture as well as UV light, insects, and fungi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Treat Untreated Wood for Outdoor Use<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before treating your untreated wood for outdoor use, it is important to make sure that it is clean and dry for optimum results and an easy application.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before starting your wood preserver application, ensure that you read and follow the manufacturer&#8217;s safety instructions. First, shake the product well before opening. Most wood preservers are suitable for application with a brush, roller, or spray. Spraying is a popular choice for large areas, such as fence panels, and will ensure a more even result in less time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-3\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>Always follow the usage instructions, which can vary considerably from one product to another. For example, some formulas require a second coat to be applied before the first one dries. Others require a long drying period before a second coat can be applied.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you are applying for an overcoat, you will usually have to wait around <strong>24-48 hours<\/strong> before you can begin to apply. It is usually recommended that you do not start to treat your untreated wood when damp or if rainfall is imminent.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" class=\"wp-image-14955 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.housejunkie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/a-close-up-image-of-a-type-of-lumber-on-the-floor.jpg\" alt=\"a-close-up-image-of-a-type-of-lumber-on-the-floor\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.housejunkie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/a-close-up-image-of-a-type-of-lumber-on-the-floor.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.housejunkie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/a-close-up-image-of-a-type-of-lumber-on-the-floor-350x235.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For this reason, you may wish to treat your shed, fencing, and furniture during spring or summer rather than hedging your bets on having a few dry days later on in the year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Each of these products makes excellent choices.
