Sikkens , Owatrol or Ronseal all make excellent products for decking, there are plenty of colours to choose from to compliment your conservatory. Personally, if the deck is one of the good hardwoods, Balau, Ipe, Iroko or Elondo I prefer an oil such as Liberon but oil may need to be reapplied more often.

As Paintforme says, decking will need to be maintained. If you use Teak oil (basically linseed oil with a couple of additives) it will need a couple of coats in the Spring and maybe one in the Autumn to help it through the winter, best in my opinion are products from Ronseal, Owatrol or Sikkens. I think Wickes have a 3 for 2 offer on at the moment on Ronseal. I know Owatrol does an acrylic water based deck treatment that will be easy to apply. If your decking is Ipe or Elondo it won't hurt to clean it off and allow the wood to go silver coloured, for pine decking it really does need regular maintenance but don't use a pressure washer on woods like pine, teak or oak as it will penetrate too far and damage the wood. The super hard woods like Ipe are not really affected by power washing.

Hi Sarah. It was a tricky one as there is so much conflicting advice online. Plus you don’t always know how or where the timber has been stored prior to being assembled. Best advice I found for treated (or tanalised) timber was if you flick some water at it and it beads or rolls off then it needs to weather for the appropriate time and if it soaks in then you’re good to go. I left it for a few days under cover before painting and just used Sadolin Superdec opaque in the end. 3 years on and the paint is as good as when it was first done. There are a few splits in the grooves where the timber has swollen over the winter months but nothing to affect the performance of the paint. Really easy to keep clean as well, just a hose down and wipe with cloth 🙂. My advice would be to use a water based product. If it’s oil based then I think you’d definitely need it to weather for 3-6 months. I’ve heard many good things about Tikkurila paints, would love to try some one day. I recently used Bedec barn paint on my latest shed and was surprised how well it applied, 2.5 litres did the whole lot with 3 coats and some left over! No colour choices tho but I wanted black anyway, although I had a bit of a wobble and was tempted by a Swedish barn red😊. Time will tell if if it lasts! Some pics, 1st not long after painting and 2nd taken earlier this year, shed 2 is now black! Lots of landscaping still to do 🙂.
