Shed & Fence Protector
Ideal for large areas of rough sawn wood such as fences and sheds, this one coat system nourishes the wood with a blend of natural oils and waxes, depositing UV absorbing pigments to enhance, brighten and leave a long lasting finish.
-
The breathable stain helps to seal the wooden surface to leave a hydrophobic, breathable coating that will not crack, flake, peel or blister. -
One coat is enough for the coating to regulate moisture, reducing swelling and shrinkage, and leave a highly water resistant coating.
-
Formulated for easy use, the product clings to the brush, reducing dripping on surrounding areas.
-
Water -based alternative to traditional solvent based stains with only trace VOC content-without sacrificing quality.
Directions for Use
Surface Preparation
Shake / mix well before use and frequently during application (thorough mixing is needed to ensure a consistent colour throughout the treatment).
New Bare Timber: Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from contamination.
Previously Coated Timber: Remove any old loose or peeling coatings and sand back, ensuring any dust is removed. This will reduce the risk of problems such as patchiness or uneven drying. Wear a dust mask during sanding. Surfaces already coated with a wood stain such as Timbashield Wood Protector or Timbashield Shed and Fence Protector should be allowed to naturally weather for a year and do not need the additional sanding step and just need to be thoroughly cleaned before reapplication.
Old Timber: Wood that has decayed or is damaged should be removed and replaced. Brush with a stiff brush to remove any dirt that has become ingrained. Mould, algae and fungi must be removed and treated with a suitable wood cleaner.
Please note that the due to the differences in porosity of some wooden surfaces, rough sawn, absorbent wood will have a darker finish than harder smooth wood. This is due to how much product is absorbed. A test patch is always recommended.
Application
Apply the product onto dry wood when there is no imminent rain forecast and in temperatures above 5 degrees. Do not apply in damp or humid conditions. Failure to meet these requirements may adversely affect the drying and durability of the finish.
Ensure surrounding areas are protected during application.
Brush: Always use a good quality brush that is recommended for use on the surface type to be treated. Saturate the brush and apply evenly in the direction of the wood grain, brushing out thoroughly. Allow the product to penetrate the wood and leave to dry. Under normal conditions this should take 4-6 hours, but it will be shower proof within an hour. Whilst this is a one coat system, if after the wood is completely dry bare patches are observed, repeat the treatment.
Roller: A roller may be used on smooth wood, but on rough sawn timber this may result in snagging, in which instance applying with a brush is recommended.
Spray: Always refer to the sprayer user guide for full instructions before use. Stir thoroughly before pouring the contents into your chosen sprayer. Cover any nearby surfaces in case of overspray. Spray evenly in the direction of the wood grain.
Low temperatures, increased humidity and ingredients of some wood types may increase drying time.
Cleaning
During application, remove any excess with a clean cloth. Any spillages should be cleaned up immediately and brushes washed with soap and water.
Storage and Shelf Life
The product should be stored in frost- free conditions. Recommended shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture. If you wish to use the product after this time, stir well and trial before use.

FAQS
Can I use Timbashield Shed and Fence Protector on a smooth planed fence?
Yes, this product can be used on both rough and smooth wood.
Can I add further coats if the colour is not dark enough?
Yes. Due to the hydrophobic nature of the stain, the first coat may begin to repel the second. It is sometimes easier to leave the surface to weather slightly for a few weeks and retry, or alternatively work the brush back and forth to push the coating into the base layer. Any repellence is a good sign that the product is working.
Can I put this on a fence that has previously been treated with a solvent wood stain?
Yes, as long as the stain has weathered for at least a year to allow Timbashield Shed and Fence Protector to soak in.
Can I lighten my dark fence with a lighter stain?
No, even a light stain, when applied to a dark base, will deposit more colour and give a darker finish.
