Protective Treatment

If you decide on a dip-treated finish for your new shed or summerhouse, please bear in mind that it will require two coats per year of a protective treatment to prolong the life of the timber.

Barrettine Wood Protective Treatment is perfect for use on most exterior timber structures, including sheds, fences, trellises, pergolas and wooden gazebos. 

It absorbs into the wood with successive coats, building onto the surface, providing excellent water-repellency and beading. Solvent-based formulation for deeper penetration into the grain of the wood. Dries to between a Matt and a Satin finish, depending on the number of coats applied.

This is not necessary for painted buildings, as they are spray finished with Teknos microporous paint, and will require only a wipe down with soapy water annually to maintain.
