About this deal
If using our wood stain on exterior vertical timber surfaces, we would recommend using Osmo's UV Protection Oil Clear as a top coat for increased longevity*** This depends on your home's exterior and the colours and tones in your garden. Avoid anything jarring, and look to either complement or contrast with your walls and fences. The stain is truly clear, so it's not a good choice if you're trying to cover up any imperfections in the wood planks. This is a protective water-repellent coating. If your timber isn't treated with a preservative then depending on the type of wood and product, you may want to use our Wood Preserver ++ first.
