Is this wood stain good for decking?

Some_randomer

Hi I need to paint my decking and I got an outdoor wood stain (Parkside brand) a few days ago in Lidl. It says it's for all outdoor wood but it doesn't mention decking specifically, and I read that decking needs special paint / oil.


Attached are pics of it, does anyone know if this is good to use on decking?

I'd go for it for decking. May not be 100% ideal but all those Lidl painting and preservative products perform really well.

Great thanks.

Qwerty?

After treating my deck for 14 years, I've tried many different oils and now only use the one below and would never go back to any other. I'd also avoid anything that strains as if they don't last and start peeling they look terrible and it's really difficult to ever get a uniform colour finish again. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Liberon-DOCL5L-5L-Decking-Oil/dp/B001GUAAXK/ref=asc_df_B001GUAAXK/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=226377587466&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7808073444126373137&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=20489&hvtargid=pla-420453192613&psc=1

Did you end up using the wood oil ? Any good ?

It's back on sale on Thursday... Wondering if I should go for it or avoid it ?

Big problem with the Lidl stuff is getting enough of it. If you need a lot then you have the one chance to buy it because you know its not going to be available again probably for another 6 months. If its what you need I stand by my statement on the quality of Lidl paints.
