British Paints Decking Oil

Great oil decking – I used this every year and find it great for my decking.My decking under cover I only re oil Every 3 year as it lasts. The decking in the open and out in the elements all the time I oil every year. This product goes on easy and will take a couple of days to dry 100% Used for 12 years and my decking has a lovely colour and shine Show details

Lasts 3 times longer than others – I was put onto the One coat decking oil at Bunnings, and was surprised how long it lasted, 3 years. I’ve a long outside deck, which gets hammered by sub tropical weather. 3-6 people daily living. I put on 2 coats admittedly. Drys in a few hours of sunlight, but waited 24hrs before use. Just finished this round in 2 stages. Great stuff British paints. Show details

Best I have used – Tried many oils on treated pine and this one seems to be holding up the best. A good rich colour tone when dry and goes a long way and easy to apply. A very good overlooked product. Beats all the other top names and a good price. Show details ·  1

Great to bring out the grain of beautiful decking wood – We have a 4 year old Sydney bluegum deck exposed to the harsh Queensland sun. Originally we used Cutek decking oil but the wood started to grey after 6 months. I used a hand sander to bring back the natural reddish colour of the wood and then chose a tinted Cabot's product. The Cabot's product, a stain oil, looked like we had painted our deck with… Read more ·  1

Mission Brown paint... you couldn't see the grain of the wood. This lasted 3 and a half years but started to peel and flake. I used a deck sander, wood stripper and high pressure water blaster to get the wood back into its original colour. Natural colour Timber Protect oil based decking oil went on very easily with a roller, and brush on the edges. It has left our deck with a beautiful rich colour just marginally darker than the actual wood and it has really brought out the grain. So far, very impressed.

Kiwila Colour – Bought Kiwila, colour, good to use, but turned out bright orange, how can I make this more natural - even darker brown would be good to blend in with the rest of the garden. Show details

Perfect, deck is back looking as new – Used other brands over the years, tried this for the first time and i must say I am really impressed. Applied 2 coats, took some time to dry. A low sheen finish is impressive. Show details ·  1

Sludge – I just got this product and it won't mix. Sludge at the bottom that you can barely scrape off and won't mix with the rest. Wish id reviewed before as this problem has been mentioned for 3 years. Show details

easy to use,make sure to mix it well – i cleaned my deck with a napisan solution before oiling,the first coat was dry in 2 days i recoated making sure not to apply too much.the 2nd coat was dry in 2-3days and i was happy with the result iwaited approx 5months and applied another coat and am still happy with the results.  Show reply

Simply Does The Job – I chose this after much research. I used "natural" colour to enhance grain of timber decking. It went on easily with a roller after cutting in edges with a brush. I wiped of excess with a cloth ten minutes after each coat. So far, it has impressed producing a lovely dull sheen and enhancing the natural grain. It's cheaper than most other decking oils, but from my experience and others, appears to be better. Happy oiling.  Show details ·  1

Exact finish I’d hoped for! – I read the mixed reviews on this forum before committing to try this product. So glad I went with my gut feeling and bought it. The jetty now looks like the day it was built. Very happy with British Paints natural colour decking oil. Will definitely be buying this product for the next application.  Show details ·  1

Top product! – Good product, have used several different brands over the years, this one is auick and simple. Brings out the maubau grain nicely. The paint did have sediment on the bottom (from sitting on bunnings shelf) but nothing a good quality paint stirrer couldn't fix. By the way I used the BP gloss varnish, and it came up really good, after 5 coats. Top products.  Show details ·  1

Great product – Hi Found the BP oil base decking oil easy and quick to apply. It needed to be as I have over 160 square meters of decking at various levels. Makes decking on the place look great. Unfortunately, to maintain this I have been recoating it annually; at some point the timber will become nicely saturated and this may turn into a biannual event.Just hope BP continue to make the stuff; and leave the recipe as is.  Show details ·  1

Yellow deck, yuk – As per some of the other comments, we purchased British Paints Decking Oil, Natural finish, to go on our existing cleaned and weathered deck. Buntings consultant advised that it was a clear liquid but upon application it is a horrible yellow color, certainly not natural. Returning this product to Bunnings. Thank you.  Show details

Unhappy with colour, so yellow – I used BP water-based oil colour Natural on pine decking. It is bright yellow. It's awful and I'm so disappointed. How can I fix it? I've done two coats and each coat just makes it more yellow. How can I fix it? Can I go over the top with a different colour?  Show details

Surprisingly good and excellent value for money – Used it on our 2 year old deck, which had been oiled with a MUCH more expensive product. It went on easily, covered well, and made the deck look brand new again. Thee only downside is that it remained a bit sticky for a few days. It is a great product at a wonderful price. I will be using it exclusively from now on!  Show details ·  2

Sludge won't budge – I recently purchased the British paints water based decking oil. It looked milky muddy colour and had sludge at the bottom. After mixing for a substantial amount of time the sludge still did not decrease. Taking back to bunning to get a refund and buy Aqua deck as I know I won't have issues with that product. Not happy as my nearest Bunnings is over an hour away!  Show details

Good can't complain – We used the " Natural " now 2 years on treated pine. Every 12 month and it is doing the job in my opinion. I used a lot less after the first treatment. The decking is facing north on a Gold Coast Water way. I think water based is the way to go.

Good value ,excellent depth of colour and coverage – Decking is 20 square metres under cover and 5 years old. Gave a good scrub down with decking cleaner over very faded original cheap stain over pine decking.. I was looking at water -based products but reviews were very inconsistent so decided to go for oil-based Merbau colour. Had mind set on Cabot's but was not happy with sample colours then… Read more

spotted British Paints colour which appeared very good in samples. I ended up buying 12 litres which was applied with brush for edges and along walls then a lambswool applicator. First coat got soaked into the old timber quickly but on the second coat the colour was superb with just the right amount of low sheen-not glossy.I probably applied the second coat a little too heavily but after 12 hours of drying in mild weather it was settled down smoothly. It obviously smells during the drying process but it was outside. Decking now looks better than when originally done. 'Onya British Paints. First time I've ever used this brand

Lovely on dark timber at first - need to replace after 12 months – Applied two coats of BP decking oil really easily to a merbau deck in Jan 2016, which brought out the merbau's lovely dark lustre. Within a couple of months it had gone quite dull, and now after 12 months the exposed boards have started to go grey and the coating has become flaky, which I will need to either acid wash or sand back and re-oil. I… Read more

suspect that the UV properties in the oil haven't worked properly, which might be explained by the thick sludge I had tried to stir in. I was really hoping to get a good result from BP decking oil, but I'll re-oil with another product, which, with early testing on merbau, looks and feels more robust and protective.

Excellent product – I purchased a 4 litre can of the water based decking oil from Bunnings, they kindly offered to shake'mix it up on their machine so all I had to do was the give it a stir prior to application, it was easy to apply and after 2 coats the deck looks brilliant, the product is far better than other more expensive brands.  Show reply

best product for our decking – Excellent product at an excellent price. Have just used 12 litres, would not buy anything else for our decked verandah Easy to use, needed very little mixing. The oil held well on the brush and dld not splash on the walls. Have tried other products in the past but this has been the easiest to use with best results. Love the 6 litre can, great value  Show reply

Excellent – wow just used this for the first time today special 6 liters for about 55 dollars at Bunnings wont use another product ever again . Fantastic oil based goes on decking like butter . I was a bit worried about using a oil based oil but I would recommend this product to anyone

Trust British Paints? - Sure can – After reading the various reviews, I went for the oil based and it was a good choice. After ensuring it was shaken/mixed properly. I had prepped the deck prior by removing old stain. It went on easily. It has brought the deck back to life and it looks a treat.

Won't Buy It Again – I asked Bunnings to put tin on machine and mix it before I purchased. Then I stirred it thoroughly myself before using. Sludge at bottom was hard to mix through base. The coverage is poor. It looks crap on my old deck. The opacity is too pale to cover the old stains that you get on an old deck even though I power washed it first to try and get… Read more

uniform look to start with. My thoughts are that you would only use this product on a brand new deck where the boards are pristine.

Will never buy a BP product again – After reading the previous reviews on this website I purchased the BP water based decking oil. When buying from Bunnings I got them to shake it up on their machine. Before using I stirred the oil with a paddle mixer only to find a thick mass on the bottom of the tin. I used a mixer fitted to a drill to dissolve the thick mass. I then used the… Read more

paddle mixer again.i had some success but still there was some left. Decided to return decking oil to Bunnings. They opened the other tins which had different batch numbers only to find they were all as bad. Purchased Cabots aqua deck.

Good quality for a great price – After preparing the area (mechanically removing old stain) the new stain went on well with a roller and brush. Good coverage with an even finish bought up the old deck like new. Very happy :)

Leaves Cabots for dead – This is a fantastic product, I have been using it for a while now and am very happy with the results. Cabots Aquadeck has stuffed my rear deck, its absolutly garbage, went on patchy and formed a film which is beginning to peel of after 12 months.

I wouldn't use anything else – I have tried Cabots, Intergrain and Feast Watson brands in the Natural Decking Oil finish and found that these would leave my decking much darker than desired, and any excess is clearly visible if allowed to dry. The British Paints Natural Decking Oil an Oil based product, unlike some of the others, and it is quite thin. I found that it can be… Read more ·  1

easily and effectively applied using a 230 mm roller, with minimal roller head flex when working the oil into the deck.

Any excess does not leave the unsightly yellow marks that that I have found with other brands. It does enhance the deck without significantly changing the hue of the deck stain. It is available at a fraction of the price of the other big name brands.

No sediment or pigments were found in the bottom of the can, and only needed minimal stirring. Inexpensive, a true oil unlike other water based products, readily available Nothing that I could find
