Product details
Brand: Osmo
Osmo Decking Oil is a translucent, satin finish oil for all wood in outdoor areas but in particular, is best suited to protect and maintain timber decking, garden furniture and privacy screens. It can be tinted into a range of translucent shades to add a hint of colour without masking the wood grain and is suitable for a huge range of woods such as pressure impregnated Pine, Douglas Fir, Cedar, Oak or Bangkirai – also suitable as a transparent colour treatment of Teak, Eucalyptus and other fine woods as well as thermally treated wood. Creating a microporous finish, this decking oil allows the wood to breathe and reduces swelling and shrinkage. Water repellent, extremely weatherproof and UV stable, it will not crack, peel, flake or blister and you can simply recoat without sanding or priming. If an anti-slip finish is required, we recommend the Osmo Anti-Slip Decking Oil.Preparation and Application of Osmo Decking OilFor best results, we recommend that wood species with a high content of natural wood extractives need to weather off (min. 4 weeks) before the initial treatment or be cleaned with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner which acts as a degreaser. Resinous wood, such as Larch or Douglas Fir, needs to weather off for at least 6 weeks. Pressure impregnated wood, Massaranduba, Bangkirai or Garapa need to weather off for at least 3 months.Before you apply, degrey any already greyed wood with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel and ensure the surface is clean, dry, free from previous varnishes and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%). Osmo Decking-Oil is ready to use, simply stir well before use with a flat stirring stick or a spatula. If possible, we suggest that you apply the first coat to all sides before installation. If additional protection against blue stain, rot and insect attack is desired, pre-treat the wood, if possible on all sides, with Osmo WR Impregnation.To make application a quick and easy process, we recommend that you use a stiff brush like the Osmo Flat Brush or a lint free cloth like the Osmo Fleece Applicator with Hand Holder, applying thinly and evenly to the clean and dry wood surface along wood grain. For an even quicker and easier application, we recommend using Osmo Decking Brush (150 mm) which was tailor-made for decking and allows you to apply the finish while standing. Apply thinly and evenly allowing for good ventilation while drying. Then apply the second coat – also thinly. If a less intenstive colour is desired, the second coat should be carried out with clear Anti-Slip Decking Oil. (Does not apply for clear Teak-Oil 007)Osmo Decking Oil OverviewAvailable in a wide range of translucent colours Natural wood character remains visible Safe for humans, animals and plants once dry Highly water and dirt resistant Breathable therefore reducing water logging, swelling and shrinkage Microporous, penetrating finish which does not crack, peel or flake No sanding necessary when topping up coating

Four times the timber treatment that I have used for last 23 years but no longer available but this treatment is good and should , has to last longerthan one year
Great product - goes on smoothly and more than enough in the can for two coats on a 5mx4m deck
Disappointed with the colour too much orange. I wouldn’t go for this colour again
Easy application, albeit two thin coats. Since applying the decking oil, it has rained and I was pleased to see the water bubbled. Finally the decking looks like new.
I only use Osmo Oil products for all my exterior wood nowadays as its the best stuff on the market for ease of use, longevity and quality of finish.
Best product ever
lovely decking oil
Great product.
Excellent product, easy to apply and clean brush afterwards, dries in a few hours, used two coats, very pleased with the results
Good quality product easy to roll on to a timber deck and drys overnight. Clear teak oil 007 gives a warm colour tone and excellent water repellency. Two coats works best. Not cheap but it works.
Used before absolutely great for decking
Easy to apply. Coverage is possibly lower than is claimed. Expensive but time will tell over it’s longevity.
Amazing, use this every year
Required a lot more than was told i required.
It appears as a very ordinary decking stain with a bland finish. There is no sheen to it. You would expect better from a high end product
