Barrettine Wood Protective Treatment (Light Brown, 1L) - Ideal Treatment for Outdoor Treated Timber Structures. Wood Protector Oil with Water Repellent Qualities. UV & Fade Resistant.

We have been using Barrettine Wood Protective Treatment on our products for the last few years, and we can recommend it. The light brown colour seems to be the most popular and it is the shade that we use the most. It really brings out the wood grain and improves the look of outdoor furniture, and it helps to protect the wood for up to a year, before it needs to be re-applied. It is easy to use, dries quickly and your paint brushes can be cleaned easily in warm soapy water as it is water based. We have tried other Wood Protective Treatments but in our opinion this is the best.

I bought this to match the treatment on my new shed and it blended in perfectly. The colour is spot on and the coverage is very good. It goes on smoothly and the finish looks high quality, giving the wood a nice even coat. It also seems to offer solid protection, which is exactly what I wanted for outdoor timber. I’m impressed enough that I plan to buy more to treat my entire fence. For the price, the value for money is excellent considering the amount you get and the quality of the result. Dries pretty quickly, it came be quite strong fumes so make sure you're in a ventilated area.

Must be applied when wood is dry, dry's quickly with good coverage.

This appears at first use to be an excellent product. I purchased the Clear preservative to coat a new rough sawn fence which was required after storm Eowyn. As of today I have coated a 15m fence on one side with approx 4 litres of the product. It soaks in well and is easy to apply. Has a minimal odour and appears to be both a light solution which penetrates the wood panels well giving them a natural light golden appearance. I have applied various products over the years to fences and this is by a mile the easiest to apply with a basic fence brush. I intend to apply 2 coats so I purchased 15litres in total but suspect that 10 will suffice to allow a spare for touch ups if required. I expect that when dry it will protect the wood from the rain which we get plenty of. Brushes are easily cleaned in white spirit although I would recommend buying a cheap plastic bucket in order to pour product into for application. Update: I have now completed both sides of fence with 2 coats and of 15 litres I have used about 12 in total as it soaks in very well to new wood. The clear leaves a mellow colouring but allows wood knots and all to show through. I would recommend this product because of its ease of application, finished look and protective properties which I hope will last for quite a few years.

Worth the money. You pay for what you get. Water simply beads off my shed and protects it. No stain or oil just pure clear protection for a natural wood finish. Love the clear version. Works just like a wax waterproof coat

This is expensive but does the job of protecting wood. It is quite thin so a little goes a long way which makes it more reasonable in price. Dries quickly in summer months and comes in various colours or clear if you like the natural wood colour. Easy to apply.

Fantastic product at a great price. Better than all other equivalents I have used over the years. Easily applied and brilliant finish after only two coats. I treated a 10x10 summer house, including internal elements and still 1.3 of tin remaining. Prompt delivery. Highly recommended.

Use this stuff all the time - in fact I don't use anything else to protect my handmade garden items, fences, gates. Soaks in, good colours (I usually mix clear with light brown to get a lighter brown colour), doesn't smell too bad, dries quickly, and the best bit - it works to protect exterior wood! You can also just reapply when it's worn off a bit (after a year or two) and it looks like new again. I just slap it on with an old brush. I wear oil-resistant gloves, and eye protection (when I remember).
